Description

Colorful cheese soup filled with colorful bell peppers, onion, carrots, and celery.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Green Bell Pepper
  • 1 whole Red Bell Pepper
  • 1 whole Yellow Bell Pepper
  • ½ whole Yellow Onion
  • 1 whole Carrot
  • 2 stalks Celery
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 4 cups Water
  • 4 cubes Chicken Bouillon
  • 5 Tablespoons Butter
  • 5 Tablespoons Flour
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 4 cups Cheddar Cheese

Preparation

De-seed and dice all bell peppers, chop onion, carrot and celery.

In a large pot saute vegetables in olive oil until softened, 3-4 minutes on medium to medium high. Pour water over vegetables and add bouillon cubes. Bring to a boil uncovered while you mix thickening agent.

In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium/low heat, whisk in flour one tablespoon at a time. Stir for one minute until thick. Slowly whisk in milk (be sure to do this slowly or it will be lumpy). Whisk 4-5 minutes until thickened.

Reduce heat on the peppers to low. Add flour mixture to peppers and stir.

Stir cheese into all other ingredients one cup at a time until melted.

If you use a quality cheese this soup will not be grainy as many cheese based soups are. You can also add diced prosciutto for an extra layer of flavor or pour a bit of wheat based beer in lieu of a portion of the water.
