Course: Main Courses, Stews & Soups
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Bell Pepper Soup, Grilled Cheese, Tomato Soup
Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 12 cocktail tomatoes
  • 3-4 heirloom tomatoes or brown tomatoes
  • 2 yellow bell peppers
  • 1 brown onion - chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic - chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 3 threads saffron
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 3 shakes red wine vinegar
  • 6 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock if keeping it vegan
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil divided

Grilled Cheese!

  • 4 slices olive bread
  • 1 cup grated fontina cheese
  • 1 handful fresh sage

Instructions

  • Season tomatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Make sure they are nice and coated. Roast the tomatoes in baking sheet at 400º for 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, roast the bell peppers whole directly on an open flame for about 10 minutes, until all sides are charred. After they are charred, wrap in wet paper towels, place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. This will steam them a little and make it easy to take the skins off. After about 5 minutes, the skins should slide right off!
  • Add the onion and garlic and 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a large stock pot and season with salt and pepper. After the onion cooks for about 7 minutes, add in the peeled and roasted bell peppers.
  • Take the tomatoes out of the oven and let them cool fro about 5 minutes. Try to peel off as much skin as possible but don't worry about taking all of it off. After peeling, pour the tomatoes and their juices directly into the stock pot with the onions, garlic and bell peppers.
  • Bring the heat up and add in 3 tablespoons of dry white wine or rose will work too.
  • Next add in all the spices and season again with salt and pepper.
  • Add the 6 cups of chicken stock or vegetable stock. Let it simmer on low with the lid off for at least 20 minutes.
  • After about 20 minutes, add in a few shakes of red wine vinegar. Now time to blend together! Using a hand blender directly in the stockpot, blend together until nice and smooth, about 3 minutes. Then at the very end, add in 1 cup of milk with the hand blender going at the same time to make sure the milk doesn't curdle! It should be perfect at this point!

Grilled Cheese!

  • This is simple! Take your olive bread and drizzle with a little olive oil. Pop it in the oven at 350º for 5 minutes to get a little warm and crispy. Take it out and top with fontina cheese and fresh sage. Pop it back in for 3 minutes or until cheese is melty and gooey! I like to dunk my grilled cheese right into the soup! So yummy!

Instagram post 17855993498484563 This quote by Martin Luther King Jr. is one that I try to remind myself of everyday. It’s a small mantra I keep in my pocket to help me be a better person. But my small pocket mantra should be more. On this day that we recognize MLK and what he has done for our communities, I feel implored to do more everyday. This day is about acts of service to our communities. It’s not just one day- it is something I want to think about and ACT on everyday. In 2021, I want to do more for my communities and remember even more so that the time is always right to do what is right. 🕊

This week has been very stressful- personally speaking. Monday feels like it was 2 weeks ago. With the pandemic it can be difficult to find things that take you away from everyday life. Things like going to a movie, restaurants, a nail appointment or shopping 🛍 are not a thing right now. So you have to be resourceful and find creative ways to bring a little peace and happiness into your world 🌎!

Last week I ordered @yourpoppyflowers to be delivered to my house to make my own arrangement. Putting this fun little piece together was so enjoyable and relaxing for me! Typically I would love picking up flowers from around town but with everything being so bad in LA- I’m trying to stay home as much as I can. I loved that I could get high quality blooms right to my door! It was the perfect pick me up for the week!
•
Also, making my house feel like a pretty sanctuary has been important to me during the last 10 months. Flowers help make everything feel a little rosy and brighter!
•
Enjoy your Friday and cheers to making it here!
