Roasted Red Pepper Bisque

Directions

  1. Over a grill or burner on high heat, char bell peppers until skin is evenly blackened. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine carrots, onions, fennel, celery, garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, chipotle, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Mix until spices are evenly distributed. On a full sheet pan, spread vegetable mixture into a single layer. Roast in a 500°F convection oven until caramelized, approximately 10-12 minutes.
  3. In a sauce pot over medium high heat, bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, add miso, and mix until well blended. Set aside. Once cooled, remove skin from charred peppers with a clean towel. Dice peppers large.
  4. Heat oil in a sauce pot over medium high heat. Add roasted vegetables and bell peppers. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add miso to vegetables. Heat to a boil; reduce heat and gently boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Puree mixture in a blender in batches. Return to sauce pot.
  6. Over medium heat, whisk in Culinary Cream. Cook for 5 minutes.
  7. Serve with thinly sliced scallions.
