ingredients
4 tablespoons butter, divided
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 jar (12 ounce size) roasted red peppers drained, seeds removed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 can (12 ounce size) evaporated milk
1 can (14.5 ounce size) vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
directions
Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add half the butter, the onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is tender, about 3 minutes.
Transfer the butter and onion mixture to a blender. Add the drained peppers. Cover the blender and process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
In the same saucepan, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Quickly stir in the flour until completely dissolved. Slowly whisk in the evaporated milk and then the broth.
Cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid comes to a boil and begins to thicken. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Stir in the red pepper puree, salt, and pepper.
Cook, stirring frequently, until the soup has thickened and is heated through. Serve hot. If desired, swirl in some cream or sour cream and garnish as desired with croutons or snipped fresh herbs.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

I am a soup lover, but am very picky about my soup! This is a keeper! I assumed the total amount of butter was 4 Tablespoons. That's what I used (2 with onions and garlic and 2 with flour) and it worked out great.
Edited recipe to reflect the amount of butter used as per this review. Thanks!

Great soup, but how much total butter does it call for? That isn't listed in the ingredients.

It's Great recipe. Very quick and tasty. You can substitue full fat milk for Evap. Milk. Here is the recipe for rosting the bell paper Cut whole peppers in halves or quarters; remove seeds and membranes. Place peppers on a baking sheet, skin side up. Place the baking sheet on a rack in the oven, about 4 inches from the broiling unit. Broil until skins are blackened.
Half way through the instructions, it says to mix the "remaining butter" in with the rest of the ingredients. What quantity? Butter was never listed in the ingredients.
