I discovered your blog about 2 years ago now, due to my coworker in Denmark (I am back in California now) making this for our first “girls night” dinner. It was my first Smitten Kitchen recipe I made and I have since whipped this up at least a dozen times. Always a hit.. Plus it makes my small apartment smell amazing. A big thank you to you, Deb, for teaching this 25 yr old to not be lazy in small studio kitchen. Each recipe I conquer is a new favorite.

I have made a roasted red pepper soup for years. The recipe is in one of Jeanne Lemlin’s cookbooks (main course vegetarian pleasures, I think) and it’s delicious. And she includes a recipe for dill dumplings to cook in the soup. Together, they really make a meal.

This looks delicious! I’m making it as we speak and I was wondering if anyone had tried roasting a few of the peppers before adding to lend a smokier flavor?

My husband bought a huge bag of red peppers because they were on sale, so I said maybe I can find a red pepper soup recipe on line. This popped up..hope it turns out.

I look forward to trying this. This is the best eating/enjoying site I know! Meanwhile, this has been my go-to (roasted) red pepper soup for years. You can use good jarred peppers, but it’s just not the same. Patrick O’Connell does know his stuff:

I realized this weekend that I had a LOT more peppers (red and green, mostly green) than I realized. I needed to use them up before they spoiled and found your recipe for a comforting soup made with *surprise* peppers! Instead of crème fraîche I used Greek yogurt and the result is delicious. We live in a small town with three huge farms, and I can’t wait to try it again in the summer with peppers fresh from the fields. Thank you!
