Roasted red pepper, tomato and pesto soup
it might be my new favourite flavour AND it's healthy. Ish. We'll not talk about the two packs of wotsits I had earlier...

I made some roasted pepper, tomato and chilli soup a few weeks ago
It was fucking NOM

What chilli would you use for that?

I just chucked normal red chillis in with the tomato and peppers, olive oil, thyme and salt/pepper
Roasted it for about 45 mins, then blended it with some chicken stock

I was considering something like using 1 scotch bonnet, what you think?

Only if you want to be shitting rusty water for the next 48 hours
unless you've a high tolerance for capsaicin, anyway. One scotch bonnet is a lot, I doubt you'd be able to taste much else over the top of it.

Ahh, fair enough
I used to use one when I was making large chillies, but at the same time I'd add other bits of spice too, so I didn't think it was that bad.

I'll go for something a little tamer then, methinks

Sounds delicious
I'm determined to make some soup this week

I have recipes if you are interested
this one is incredibly simple, provided you have a blender.

Sounds good, send it along :)
I'm back on my soup diet, and I'd rather make my own than rely on canned/ cartoned soup

I know that butternut squash is meant to make a rather tasty soup

It does, but it needs something to keep it from being too bland
Stick your Scotch Bonnet in that, maybe?

Roast it with red peppers, and a deseeded scotch bonnet?

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 1 Feb 2012, 13:56, Reply)

Do what sporto did below

So, don't roast the chilli?

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 1 Feb 2012, 14:02, Reply)

That all depends on whether you want the flavour of a roasted chilli or not.
I reckon fresh would be more than adequate though.

Cool cool

I does indeed
I roasted some with some butter and garlic in the cavity where the seeds were and then blitzed it with some fresh chilli
