Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 yellow onions sliced or chopped
12 red bell peppers or pimento peppers, roughly chopped
4 to 5 cups chicken stock
salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the onions and cook slowly until the onions are translucent.

2. Add the chopped peppers and enough chicken stock to barely cover. Bring to a boil, cover the pan and reduce the heat to a simmer.

3. Cook until the peppers are very tender. This may take about 20 to 30 minutes. Carefully puree the soup in the blender or food processor.

4. If there are too many large flecks of skin visible, you may pass the pureed soup through a food mill.

5. Thin the soup with additional stock to the consistency of your choice and season the soup with salt and pepper. Set the soup aside and readjust the seasoning just before serving.
