Serves: 4 – 6
==Description==
We call this Albert's soup because my husband's work colleague, Albert, told us about it, but it has become a real favourite here. As simple as this soup sounds, it really doesn't need any enhancement! This recipe is also very easy to scale up or down.
==Ingredients==
* 3 – 4 red bell peppers (however many you like)
* 6 plum tomatoes (an equal amount to the peppers)
* 3 cups of Fridge-cleaner Vegetable Stock (or your favourite stock)
* romano cheese, thinly sliced (a slice or 2 per bowl)
* (optional) garlic
* (optional) basil, julienned
==Directions==
# Half the tomatoes
# Place face up on a roasting pan along with whole pepper (and garlic if you are using any)
# Roast until the either the peppers or the tomatoes start becoming blackened
# Remove from the oven
# Remove the skins from the tomatoes and peppers
# Purée along with any juice from the roasting process and the stock
# Add salt and pepper to taste
# Heat the soup if necessary (my husband insisted on this step)
# Serve with a slice of romano cheese in each bowl and (optionally) some julienned basil
