Secret Ingredients

Directions
- Soften the onions, garlic and pepper in water for 5-10 minutes. Prepare other ingredients.
- Add remaining ingredients except salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, mostly covered, 10-15 minutes.
- In 2 batches, puree the soup in a food processor until creamy(haven't tried the blender, though that would probably work too). Add salt to taste, if desired.
- Return to pot and keep over low heat until ready to serve.
