Ingredients

    * 2 tablespoons butter

    * 24 fluid ounces chicken broth
    * 1/2 cup skim milk

    Incredible!
    This is one of my most favored recipes when red peppers go on sale, which is not often enough. I make mine with heavy cream instead of skim milk. I also plan ahead so I do not go over on calories or fat content for the day. Well worth in!!! - 6/24/13

    I tried this recipe and loved it. I roasted the peppers in the oven and added a little more black pepper for seasoning. Delicisious! - 1/18/12

    Incredible!
    Great recipe- I decided to roast the bell peppers instead of sauteing them. Did not need to strain, just blended up nicely. Thanks!! - 8/21/09
