Red Bell Pepper Soup

Red Bell Pepper Soup

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 8-10 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 (28 ounce) can chopped tomatoes in puree
  • 8 cups chicken stock
  • 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium high heat until hot. Sauté the onion, peppers and garlic until tender, about 5 minutes. Add wine and cook over high heat until reduced by one half. Add tomatoes and chicken stock, and bring the mixture to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer 25-30 minutes. Add the last three ingredients. Serve with cornbread.
