Ingredients for Chilled Red pepper and Habanero Soup

• 4 medium red peppers

• 900g tomatoes

• 1 sweet onion (230g ), chopped

• 2 spicchi d'aglio, tritati

• 4 to 6 fresh habanero chillies, finely chopped (2 to 3 tablespoons ), stems and seeds discarded

• 60ml plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

• 425ml brodo di pollo a basso contenuto di sodio

• Crackers, flatbread, or bread

Roast peppers on racks of gas burners over high heat (or on a grill pan about 2 inches from grill), turning with tongs, until skins are blackened, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand 20 minutes. Peel, then halve lengthwise, discarding stems and seeds.

Cut a shallow X in bottom of each tomato, then blanch tomatoes in simmering water 20 seconds and transfer to an ice bath. Peel and coarsely chop, reserving juices.

Cook onion, garlic, chillies, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper in 2 tablespoons oil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and pale golden, about 8 minutes. Add tomatoes with juices, peppers, broth, and 1/4 teaspoons salt and simmer, covered, until peppers are tender, about 5 minutes.

Purée soup in 2 or 3 batches in a blender (use caution when blending hot liquids), drizzling remaining 60ml oil into first batch with motor running. Quick-chill soup in a metal bowl set in an ice bath, stirring often, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt.
