Green Pepper Soup

There's a great song from the Mighty Boosh that goes "soup, soup a tasty soup soup..." which always makes me think of this concoction. This recipe come from my Irish relatives through my uncle, Dara and his mother. She made it for me when I visited her ten years ago in Galway. It's easy, sweet and delicious.

Serves 4

3-4 green peppers, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
1 Tbsp of olive oil or butter
1 Tbsp of flour (I used rice to make it gluten free)
4 cups of chicken stock (gluten free optional)
1/2 cup of cream or blend

Sautee green peppers and onion in the olive oil/butter for about 10 minutes until they are soft. Sprinkle with flour and stir for a minute.

Add 4 cups of chicken stock and stir to blend the flour into the stock. Cook on medium to medium low for about 45 minutes.  I used an immersion blender and then I ran everything through a regular blender to get it extra smooth. Return the soup to a pot and blend the cream in and reheat.

Enjoy!
