DIRECTIONS

Soften the onions, garlic and pepper in water for 5-10 minutes. Prepare other ingredients.
Add remaining ingredients except salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, mostly covered, 10-15 minutes.
In 2 batches, puree the soup in a food processor until creamy(haven't tried the blender, though that would probably work too). Add salt to taste, if desired.
Return to pot and keep over low heat until ready to serve.
