Specialty Recipe

Cool Summer Soup

Ingredients

4 red bell peppers - roasted, peeled and chopped

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

3 cups chicken broth

1/4 cup plain yogurt

1/2 teaspoon sugar

10 Italian plum tomatoes, peeled and quartered

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 to 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup milk

Garnish:

Large croutons

In large saucepan, combine roasted peppers, tomatoes, pepper, ginger, chicken broth and lemon juice to taste. Cover and simmer 40 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Transfer to blender and puree in small batches. Return to saucepan. Add yogurt, milk and sugar and stir to blend. Chill 3 to 4 hours. Serve in chilled bowls and float a large crouton on top for garnish.

Roasting Bell Peppers: Preheat broiler or preheat grill. Cut peppers in half lengthwise and remove stem and seeds. If using broiler, place cut side down, on baking sheet, and broil in oven, about 3 inches from heat until skin blisters and turns black, 3 to 5 minutes. If using open grill, place skin side down and roast until skin is evenly charred. Remove and place skin in the bag. Seal and let steam for 100 to 15 minutes. Remove from bag and peel away skin.

Serves: 4
