Sweet Roasted Red Pepper Soup
2 small garlic cloves, unpeeled
2 jars roasted red peppers, drained
1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 cup chicken or veggie broth
1 tbsp. sour cream
1 tsp. milk
fresh minced parsley or chives
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut off the bottom of the garlic cloves and place them on a sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle olive oil over them, close up the foil, and bake the cloves for thirty minutes. Pull them from the oven, let them cool slightly, and press the cloves from the peels.
Place the garlic, chicken broth, and peppers in a blender. Puree the ingredients until they are thick, but not lumpy. Pour this into a saucepan and heat, stirring constantly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Right before serving, mix the sour cream and the milk. Pour it into the soup and give it a quick stir. Ladle into bowls and top with chives or parsley.
Enjoy!
