Spicy Tomato Soup with Habanero Peppers

This recipe is quick and easy, and with plenty of habanero heat. I used fresh habanero peppers here, but you can also use frozen peppers. It is a great way to incorporate those preserved peppers from the garden season.

Ingredients

• 2 habanero peppers, coarsely chopped
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 cans tomato sauce (30 ounces total)
• 8 basil leaves, coarsely chopped
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Heat a large pot to medium heat. Add habanero peppers and onion with olive oil and cook about 5 minutes, or until ingredients are softened.
2. Add garlic and cook another minute.
3. Add broth and simmer 2 minutes.
4. Add tomato sauce, basil leaves and rosemary. Stir.
5. Reduce heat and simmer. You can simmer 15 minutes only for a faster lunch, but the longer you simmer, the more the flavors will develop.
6. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
