A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

ingredients
3 roasted red bell peppers, cleaned with seeds removed and coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large Spanish onion, minced
2 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1 stick butter
2 cups chicken stock or clear vegetable stock
1 cup heavy cream, warmed
salt and pepper, to taste
8 fresh basil leaves for garnish, thinly sliced
directions
In a medium size heavy-bottomed pan, melt the butter at medium high heat. Add the onion, carrot and celery and saute.
Once vegetables have slightly softened, lower the heat to medium and add the garlic and continue to cook until vegetables have completely softened, approximately 10 minutes. Be careful to stir frequently as to not let the bottom burn.
Add the peppers and continue to cook for another 10 minutes. Add the stock and approximately 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper or to taste and stir.
Puree the ingredients either with a hand held blender or food processor or pour ingredients into a blender. Once ingredients have been pureed, return to the pot and remove from heat. Add the warmed cream and stir until incorporated.
Divide the soup immediately into individual bowls and top with the sliced basil leaves. Add one more crack of the pepper grinder and serve immediately, preferably with a good piece of rustic bread.

This has been by far the best roasted bell pepper soup yet! It is very creamy and delicious....You may be able to cut back on the butter a little bit (maybe half the amount) if you are worried about calories.

I thought this was fantastic! I had some roasted red pepper soup in a cafeteria one day that I thought tasted real good, and I was searching for something that was equal to that. I found better with this recipe!
