Recipe FAQ

Should I chop the roasted red peppers?

Chop away to your desired size. I do like leaving some of them in chunks; they look pretty in the soup.

Why roasted red peppers?

Roasting deepens the flavor and brings out the sweetness and smokiness of the pepper. It also makes it easy to remove the tough skins.

Can I make my own roasted red peppers?

Of course, but if you’re short on time the jarred roasted red peppers are great.

What kind of potatoes should I use?

For most soups and stews, a waxy potato or Yukon Gold is best as they don’t release as much starch and will hold up better.

How do I puree the soup?

Let the soup cool a smidge and then pour half of it into a heavy-duty blender along with the cream cheese. (I like using plastic blender containers for safety.) Puree for a minute or two until creamy.
