If you don't have a hand blender or a food processor, use your blender and just keep mashing down the peppers.
- 24-ounce jar marinated red peppers, drained
- 12-ounce can evaporated milk
- 14-ounce can chicken broth
- Optional: 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Pinch cayenne pepper
Puree the drained peppers until they have a consistency similar to applesauce. Pour pureed peppers into medium saucepan. Add milk and chicken broth, stirring over medium-high heat until it begins to boil softly.
If you would like a chowdery soup (which I prefer), add the cornstarch dissolved in a little cold water and stir a few minutes more, until soup has added thickness. Makes 6 servings.
