A bell pepper soup istn made like the traditional french cream soup that has a thickening agent.

These peppers are cooked in a stock among other vegetables and till they are perfectly cooked. Everything is blended together and thick vegetables are the base of the rich soup that makes it thick. The soup is finally enriched with some heavy cream or cold butter and served hot.
