Roasted Capsicum & Tomato soup

Tweet

Its time to post the recipe for the Ssshhh Cooking secretly challenge and I am glad that I am on time. I was paired with +Nalini of Nalini's Kitchen and the secret ingredient was capsicum and/or ginger. I first thought of a simple stir fry but then its been a long time since we had had soup and bread and so settled for this flavorful soup. To me any soup needs to have bread by the side or atleast in the form of croutons. Since I didn't have any bread at hand, I made some rosemary olive oil focaccia from scratch. The crusty and flavorful bread was a perfect accompaniment for the soup and we really enjoyed it for dinner.

~*What U Need*~ Olive oil - 1 tbsp Onion - 1, small, chopped Garlic - 1, chopped Diced tomatoes - 1 can(440g), I used Italian style Red Capsicum - 1 Water/Vegetable stock - 1 cup or more Salt - to taste Pepper - to taste Italian seasoning - to taste How I Made it: Cut the capsicum and remove the seeds. Place cut side down on a cookie sheet and broil for 5-7 mins till the skin is deeply black. Once out the oven cover and allow to sit for 10 mins. Peel and chop the roasted capsicum. Set aside. Heat oil in a pan, add garlic and onion and cook till soft. Add the tomato, capsicum and water, season and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 mins. Cool slightly and blend well. You can pass through a sieve too. Reheat over low heat. Pour into bowls and sprinkle with extra seasoning and olive oil.

Serve with some bread. I made some focaccia to go with the soup. A perfect combo.

So thats it Folks...
With Love,

Signs off!!!
