Prep Time30 mins
Cook Time30 mins
Total Time1 hr
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 17933401462478512 🕊🌿✨ When I get super excited or passionate about something I’m working on I DREAM 💭 about it for days. I end up having really detailed dreams in which I know I’m sleeping and I’m like kinda awake and kinda snoozing. This makes for a not very well rested night but really fun ideas in the morning.
•
I have literally been dreaming about mood boards. Creating them... what they represent, the colors, the feeling. I love it. They make me excited about a vision I’m pulling together. 
•
This vision here is representative of a few things:
1. TWO new SPICES that I’m releasing VERY SOON. ✨
2. My vision for the future of Emily Jilg Co.
3. A reminder to TRY and slow down a little and enjoy my surroundings, nature, people and small little things.
• 
See, I have this little problem. I constantly feel like I need to be creating, inventing, producing to be successful. I feel like if I slow down I’m losing not winning. I think my time as a  media salesperson at the LA Times gave lots of knowledge and taught my a few silly “rules”. One rule: “you’re only as good as your last sale.” TBH, can’t really get this one of out my mind. Knowledge wise: get comfortable with being rejected over, and over and over. And while your’re at it, invite failure because it’s the only way to learn. 
•
I love being an entrepreneur, owning my own business, creating , exploring, learning from my successes and failures and finding new passions. But while I’m here, I also just want to remind myself (and you) that your productivity does not equate to your value or self worth. 🤍
•
Lol sooo, did this make sense? 🙃🙂
•
Anyways- that’s all for now. Now back to dreaming 💭🦋.

Love this unique cake so much! It’s super buttery and decadent but has no butter 🧈 in the recipe! The olive oil gives it a really yummy rustic taste. It’s great as dessert but also could be just perfect with a cup of tea 🫖 in the afternoon for a Bridgerton moment, darling 👑 🌸⛲️🎠🏹!
