Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil plus more for finishing
- 1/4 cup Onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1.5 cups Roasted red peppers drained
- 1/4 cup Sliced almonds
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 tbsp Tomato paste more if needed
- 8 Crackers
- Fresh parsley garnish
- Red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- In a pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; saute until soft.
- Stir in the broth, roasted peppers, almonds, thyme, tomato paste, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes.
- Remove the thyme sprigs. Using a blender, immersion blender, or food processor, blend until smooth. Return to the pot.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt as needed. Simmer until the soup starts to have body and thickens up so it coats the back of a spoon. (Add more tomato paste if needed a little at a time to thicken to your desired consistency).
- Serve with crackers. Drizzle the top of the soup with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes.
