As I stand in my cozy kitchen, surrounded by the aroma of fresh herbs and spices, I feel the warmth of the stove against my skin. The tantalizing smell of sizzling onions fills my senses as I prepare the starter pepper soup that will awaken the taste buds of my dinner guests. I begin by slicing up a bunch of ripe, red peppers, each one bursting with flavor. I toss them into a pot filled with a savory blend of beef broth, garlic, and thyme, and allow them to simmer to perfection.
