ingredients

3 red bell peppers
1/4 cup olive oil
1 carrot, finely chopped

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add carrots, celery and red onion. Cook over medium high heat until vegetables are beginning to soften. Add roasted peppers, tomatoes, basil, balsamic vinegar, and sugar. Stir well to combine. Cook until tomatoes are beginning to break down.

Remove from heat and transfer to a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Process until mixture has reached a smooth consistency. Add heavy cream and mix until well combined.

Onion Soup Mix Saves The Day

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
