Creamy Red Pep­per Soup

(serves 3)

2 tbsps but­ter
3 cloves gar­lic, roughly chopped
1 shal­lot, roughly chopped
4 red bell pep­pers, roughly chopped
2 sprigs thyme, roughly chopped
long splash Marsala wine
3 cups veg­etable stock
1/2 –3/4 cups dou­ble cream, depend­ing on how creamy you like it
sea salt and black pep­per to taste

Melt the but­ter in a heavy saucepan and throw in gar­lic, shal­lots, pep­pers and thyme. Saute till just not raw. Add Marsala and turn up heat to burn off alco­hol for 30 sec­onds or so. Add chicken stock and sim­mer until pep­pers are cooked, about 25 min­utes. Whizz with a hand blender and put through a sieve to catch pep­per skins and thyme stems. Add cream to soup and season.
