Silky red pepper soup
Sweet peppers, a little smoke, and an acid finish make this bowl feel much bigger than its ingredient list. Keep the seeds and toasted bread close.

The useful note
Good food likes a little flexibility.
Use the recipe as a map, not a test. Taste as you go, and let the market or the hour make a few decisions.
