SPICY ROASTED RED PEPPER AND EGGPLANT SOUP
This is one of my favorite winter soups. It's spicy and very flavorful, and makes an excellent side or appetizer soup. The most important thing when preparing it is to try not to lose the juice from the peppers when you roast them--it adds a lot of flavor to your soup! Also, all the spices at the end, including the lime juice, should be added to taste, a little at a time. The soup is fine without them, but I thought it needed something until I added them. Finally, if you are preparing this as a vegan recipe, just omit the cream garnish. Use scallions, and maybe a spoonful of olive paste instead to garnish!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425F/220°C.
- While the peppers and eggplant are roasting, chop your onions and fresh chili (if you are using a fresh chili). Throw away the seeds and pith of the chili, and remember to only use half. Set aside.
- Put the eggplant and the bell peppers on a baking tray. To prevent exploding, poke a few holes in the eggplant, and one small slit in each pepper, facing up (while the peppers cook, they will fill with juice, and you don't want it to leak out).
- Roast them in the oven for about 40 minutes, until the eggplant is soft. Allow to cool enough to touch.
- Carefully put the peppers in a bowl, saving as much juice as possible, and cut in half. Peel away and discard the skin, seeds and pith.
- Cut the eggplant in half, and use a spoon (a grapefruit spoon works amazing for this if you have one!) to scoop out the flesh into the bowl with the red pepper flesh.
- Put the olive oil in the soup pot on low heat, and add the onions. Cook until soft, but not browned.
- Add the hot chili or chili powder, and cook for few quick minutes.
- Add the eggplant, red peppers, thyme, and paprika, and stir.
- Add about three quarters of the stock (enough to cover the contents of the pot), and simmer for about 20 minutes.
- In a few batches, puree the soup in a blender until smooth (you need to use a second pot to keep the pureed and un-pureed soup separate).
- Add more stock to adjust the consistency if you need to.
- Add salt, black pepper, small amounts of oregano and coriander, and more of the other spices and thyme to taste. Add a small dash of lime juice as well.
- Serve hot with a spoonful or two of fresh cream on top, and a spoonful of chopped scallions.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly oil a foil-lined baking sheet. Place bell peppers, cut-sides down, on the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until beginning to char, about 45 minutes.
- While peppers roast, score eggplant flesh deeply in a diamond cross-hatch pattern with the tip of a knife. Press on the edges of the halves to open the cuts and sprinkle salt over the surface and into the cuts. Set aside, cut-sides up, for 30 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Gently squeeze the eggplant over the sink to extract the salty juice and wipe them dry with a paper towel. Brush each half with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Arrange each half, cut-side down, on the lined baking sheet.
- Remove bell peppers from the oven and cover with a dish towel. Let stand for 5 minutes. Leave the oven on.
- Roast eggplant in the preheated oven until tender, about 45 minutes. Peel, seed, and slice the peppers while eggplant is roasting.
- Whisk 3 tablespoons olive oil, balsamic, garlic, and chili sauce together in a separate bowl. Slice 4 artichoke hearts; reserve any remaining artichoke hearts for another use.
- Let eggplant cool for at least 20 minutes before handling. Turn flesh-side up. Use a kitchen knife to scrape the flesh from the skin. Divide the flesh along the score lines into cubes. Discard skin.
- Combine eggplant, bell peppers, artichoke hearts, and sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl. Sprinkle with pepper. Pour dressing over vegetables and mix together. Garnish with basil leaves.
