Roasted Red Pepper and Crab Soup
This sweet pepper crab soup has become a Christmas day buffet favorite in our family, although it's not a typical holiday recipe. Several years ago, we decided to forgo our traditional big sit-down dinner for a buffet because of everyone's increasingly different visiting/family obligations that day. Everyone could eat whenever or if they chose to. I'd had this soup, which I loved, at several different restaurants over time. Through trial and error, I came up with my own recipe, which has been a hit. I serve it with a dollop of crème fraîche.
