How to Make Zupas Roasted Red Pepper Soup

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium-sized (6-quart) soup pot over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium diced onion, 2 stalks diced celery, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  3. Sauté vegetables for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant.
  4. Pour in 4 cups of water, 2 tablespoons vegetable base (or bouillon), 1 cup heavy cream, and 1 (28 ounce) can of roasted red peppers, drained. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Carefully use an immersion blender (or transfer soup in batches to a regular blender) to blend until completely smooth. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.
  6. Add 1 bay leaf and simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Garnish with a swirl of cream and fresh basil (optional).
