Soup fetish recently!
Among my recent soup dinners was this one:
The orange-side was 3 red bell peppers and one onion, finely chopped and cooked in 1Tbsp olive oil until soft, then a dash of hot red chili pepper powder, salt, pepper, and in this case a small dash of curry for an interesting twist on the flavor, and one clove of garlic crushed. Then add in 10-20mL white wine, cook off the alcohol (ie, when it sizzles down a bit, and no longer smell alcohol in the steam from it), then a good cup or two of chicken broth, and into the blender, pureed till smooth.
The green side was 2 green bell peppers, one onion, and 100 g of ocra, cooked the same, then with salt, pepper, one clove garlic crushed, and the 10-20 ml white wine again, and ~1c broth, also blended.
Pouring them smoothly and evenly into the bowl from either side at the same rate gets the nice clean divide down the middle.
And I found a nice basil cream very complementary to the soup (ie the swirl decor on top, using a good pouring-ladle) Made from heating a small amount of cream till steaming hot, then mixing in finely chopped basil and a pinch of salt, and lightly cooking to infuse with the basil flavor.
I'll have to do this one again soon... I'm getting hungry for it again writing about it now, after eating dinner and dessert ;)
