Tomato and Red Pepper Soup

The freshest ingredients of the summer go perfectly together in this soup. Use basil pesto instead of basil chiffonade for a fuller meal.

Serving size: make 6 cups

Prep time: 20 mins

Cook time: 40 mins

Ingredients:

2 medium yellow onions

2 large red bell pepper

3 large cloves garlic, peeled and mince

1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

1 pound fresh tomatoes

Sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1⁄4 cup fresh basil leaves(chiffonade)

Direction:

1- Place the onions and bell peppers in a large saucepan, and sauté over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add water 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time to keep the vegetables from sticking to the pan.

3- Purée the soup using an immersion blender or in batches in a blender with a tight-fitting lid, covered with a towel.

4- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve garnished with the basil.
