Makes 4 servings


A pretty, silky-smooth soup

Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter
4 red bell peppers, chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
24 oz. chicken broth
1/2 cup yogurt, non-fat plain*
1/8 teaspoon black pepper, ground
Directions
  1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add red bell pepper, onion and garlic in the saucepan and saute for 5 to 10 minutes or until tender.

  2. Pour in the chicken broth, stirring well. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth.

  3. Pour the soup through a strainer and return the liquid to the sauce pan over medium low heat. Stir in ground pepper and heat through, 5 to 10 minutes. Just before serving add yogurt and heat very gently.

  4. *you can substitute ½ cup of heavy cream for the yogurt but it adds a lot more fat. Add the cream with the black pepper and heat through.
