Servings: persons

8 large red bell peppers
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves minced garlic
1/4 cup tomato paste
6 cups chicken stock
2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup sweet corn kernels, lightly roasted
Cilantro Lime Sour Cream, recipe follows

1
Slice the peppers in half lengthwise; remove stem, seeds and membrane.
2
Place under the broiler skin side up until the skin turns black and blisters.
3
Remove and immediately place in a small paper bag or plastic container with a tight lid.
4
Place in the freezer for 10 minutes; this will loosen the roasted skin.
5
Remove peppers and rub off the black skin with your fingers.
6
Chop skinned peppers and set aside.
7
Saute the butter, onions, and garlic until soft in a heavy bottomed soup pot on medium-low heat.
8
Add the reserved red peppers, tomato paste, and chicken stock.
9
Bring to a low boil, reduce the heat, and then simmer for 10 minutes.
10
Stir in the heavy cream, cilantro, salt, and pepper.
11
Stir in the cornstarch mixed with a little cold water to thicken.
12
Simmer 5 minutes.
13
*Let the soup cool slightly, and then blend in batches in a blender, or use an immersion blender to puree.
14
Sprinkle the roasted corn over the soup before serving and top with a dollop of Cilantro Lime Sour Cream.
15
* When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes.
16
Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway.
17
If using a blender, release one corner of the lid.
18
This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions.
19
Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
20
1 cup sour cream
21
1/2 lime, juiced
22
1 teaspoon finely minced fresh cilantro leaves
23
In a mixing bowl, whisk all ingredients vigorously until light and creamy.
