Peeling the red peppers (the most tedious part of this whole recipe) and using an immersion blender are key — both make all the difference.

This soup blends directly in the stockpot, then it’s ready to serve.

I made this soup on the fly one day when I was going through a roasted garlic phase. It was a pretty serious but satisfying several weeks of adding roasted garlic to just about every dish I cooked. I regret…

“I love that the mustard brings a more unique flavor than what I typically see paired with short ribs . . .” Aren’t they just gorgeous? I’ve been wanting to make these for a while and I am so glad…
