1t sugar
1-2t paprika
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup fresh romano
optional:
cooked shrimp
fresh basil

1. Broil whole red peppers, until every side is charred black
2. Remove and place peppers in a sealed ziplock bag, or a tupperware tub.
3. After 10 minutes remove skin and seeds.
4.Chop most of the peppers but set aside 1 to julienne.
5.Place chopped peppers into a soup pot, along with chicken broth. Simmer for 5 minutes. Puree with a hand blender.
6. Add sugar and paprika. Simmer 5 minutes
7. Add heavy cream, romano, julienned pieces. (Optional: basil and shrimp)

NOTE: I serve this with cheese buns. Either toast your own buns and melt cheese on top. Or buy those supermarket cheese sticks.

Hi Jo,

I noticed you forgot to add the "season with salt,pepper and tabasco sauce" line the you used when you sent me this recipe earlier.

To anyone else who reads this - this soup is amazing!! you have to try it.

Thanks for setting this up Jo,

Count me in as a regular user and blogger. I think I may just make that soup as part of my Valentine's Dinner.
