green-peppersI harvested my first green peppers this weekend from my garden! After contemplating our stock-pile of tomatoes (my apologies to east coasters suffering from blight!), we finally decided on Roasted Pepper Soup and Roasted Tomato Soup with Serrano Cream. The recipe was originally from a 1993 Gourmet magazine, but it is online at Epicurious.

soupFor starters, this recipe is no small task, it took a few hours, because there are so many steps and you’re essentially making two soups and a topping. It was totally worth it, though! I’m not usually a big soup fan during the summer, but with the serano pepper/sour cream topping it had a cooler feel to it. I could seriously  eat this soup everyday. If I was say, Jennifer Aniston, I would totally ask my two chefs to make me this soup every day for lunch. ;)

What’s your favorite soup?
