Chilled Cubanelle Soup

• 8 medium cubanelle peppers (try to find nice straight ones for ease in roasting)
• 1 small jalapeno pepper
• 1 cup diced sweet onion
• 1 medium cucumber
• 1 large clove garlic
• 2 teaspoons salt (plus more for re seasoning)
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar (plus more for re seasoning)
• 1/2 cup chopped parsley (flat leaf)
• 1 1/2 to 2 cups water
• Diced tomato, kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese for garnish

1. Roast the two types of peppers on a grill or under the broiler of your oven until nicely charred. Place them in a bowl and cover them until cool. Once cooled, peel them, remove the stems and seeds and chop coarsely. Place in a blender along with the diced onion.
2. Peel and seed the cucumber. Chop coarsely and add to the blender along with the garlic, salt, vinegar, parsley and 1 1/2 cups water. Puree until smooth. If you feel the soup is too thick, add more water. Transfer to a covered container and chill for a few hours until ice cold.
3. When ready to serve, taste for seasoning. You may feel you need a little more salt and vinegar depending on your taste. (you even might want a little more water if the soup is too thick)
4. Serve in small cups or glasses garnished with the tomatoes, olives and feta.
