This recipe is easily doubled for extra to share or save for lunch the next day! It's a Mollie Katzen recipe and I've changed it up a little.
Melt the butter in a soup pot or Dutch oven over low/medium heat and swirl to coat the pan.
Add the onion, garlic and cumin. Cook over low heat, stirring, for 5 minutes.
Add the bell peppers and salt, stir well, cover and continue to cook over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Gradually sprinkle in the cornstarch. Cook, stirring, for another 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Purée in a blender, bit by bit, with the milk. Pour the puréed soup back into the soup pot. You may wish to strain the soup to get a smoother texture
Heat very gently (do not boil), then add black pepper to taste. Serve topped with sour cream and/or torn cilantro leaves, if desired.
It has a sort of sandy texture after blending, if you are a stickler for texture I'd strain it.
