Recipe View Serve hot, garnished with a swirl of cream, a sprinkle of fresh thyme, or a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.

For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially or fully blend the soup before adding the half-and-half. Be careful when blending hot liquids.
To add a touch of heat, include a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the thyme.
For a richer flavor, roast your own red peppers. Halve them, remove the seeds, and roast cut-side down at 400°F (200°C) until the skins are blackened. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam, then peel off the skins.
The addition of a parmesan rind while simmering adds depth.
