2 roasted red peppers, seeded
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 cup half-and-half
Heat the butter and olive oil in a Cuisinart
®
3
3
4-quart Saucepan over medium low heat.
Add the onion, celery, and carrot, cover
loosely and cook until the vegetables are
tender, 8-10 minutes. Stir in the rice, basil and
oregano, cook until rice is opaque, 2 minutes.
Stir in the stock and tomatoes. Raise heat and
bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover loosely
and simmer over low heat for 20-25 minutes.
Turn off heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
Strain the solids from the cooking liquid,
reserving the cooking liquid and returning it to
the saucepan. Place the solids in the blender
jar. Add 1 cup of the cooking liquid to the
blender jar. Set on High. Pulse 10 times to
chop, then process for 30 to 40 seconds until
totally smooth and creamy. Add the salt,
pepper, blend 5 seconds longer. Return the
blended tomato mixture to the cooking liquid
in the saucepan. Heat on medium until it just
begins to simmer then add the half-and-half.
Do not allow to boil. The soup may be made
ahead and reheated – if making ahead, do not
add half-and-half until it is reheated.

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups evaporated fat free milk, not
