CARROT AND ROASTED PEPPER SOUP

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, gently soften the leeks and the carrots in the butter for about 3 minutes. Tip in the peppers and pour in the vegetable stock; season with salt and pepper and cook for 30 minutes on a medium heat.
• Using a blender, whiz the soup until smooth. Return the soup to the pan, stir in the soured cream and reheat gently.
• Slice a baguette to 1in thick. Toast on one side; then top with your favourite cheese on the other side. Grill until the cheese melts, before arranging over the soup and serving straight away.

RED PEPPER-CARROT SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Place bell peppers on baking sheet, and roast 1 hour, or until skin is wrinkled and blackened all over, turning peppers occasionally with tongs. Transfer to bowl, and cover with plastic wrap 10 minutes to steam. When peppers are cool enough to handle, rub off blackened peel, and remove seeds.
• Heat oil in 2-qt saucepan over medium heat. Add curry powder and bay leaf, and stir 10 seconds. Add onion, carrots, garlic, and salt. Cover, and cook 10 minutes, or until onion is translucent.
• Add 4 cups water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, covered, 25 minutes.
• Transfer carrot mixture to blender, add bell peppers, and puree until smooth. Stir in lemon juice. Garnish servings with bell pepper slices, if using.

ROASTED RED BELL PEPPER AND CARROT SOUP WITH TARRAGON

Steps:

• Melt the olive oil and butter together in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the raw bell peppers, carrots, onion, shallots and pear. Reduce the heat to low, and cook the vegetables for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring often until very soft. Add the garlic, and cook for several minutes longer, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
• Add the broth, roasted peppers, crushed red pepper, cayenne pepper, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper to the saucepan, and stir to mix. Bring the broth to a low boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the soup for about 30 minutes. Cool slightly.
• Working in batches if necessary, pour the soup into the bowl of a food processor or the jar of a blender fitted with a metal blade, and puree until smooth. (Or puree the soup directly in the pot using an immersion blender.) Pour the soup back into the pot in which you cooked it. Stir in the tarragon, season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve hot or chilled. This soup, refrigerated in an airtight container, will keep for several days. It also freezes well.
