Instructions

For the Soup

Preheat the oven to 350. Place the peppers on a sheet pan and cook for about 30 minutes, until the skin starts to darken and blister. Remove from the oven. Wrap in foil. When the peppers are cool, peel the skins, remove the ribs and seeds and chop

In a heavy pot, sauté the onions, carrots and parsnip until softened. Add the garlic and sauté for 2 minutes.

Add the red peppers, stock, thyme, tomatoes and rice. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes.

Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender. (Don’t overfill the blender.) Return soup to the pot and keep warm until ready to serve.

For the Sliders

Preheat the oven to 350.

Cover the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with a little bit of the melted butter. Without separating the rolls, place the bottoms in the baking dish. Spread the dressing over the rolls. Place the roast beef, provolone, onions and pickles. Place the tops of the buns over the sliders and brush with melted butter. Bake for 15 minutes.

For the dressing, combine equal parts mayonnaise and ketchup, add a touch of Dijon mustard to taste and hot sauce to taste.
