I am sure I am the person Julia Child's was thinking about when she wrote her book for the "American serventless house wife." Here I am shopping, cleaning, and cooking all by myself.
Chilled Red Pepper and Leek Soup

There will be, slicing, sauteing, and PUREEING!!
Even with all that, this is really easy and wow what a great presentation with the rings of red peppers and chives for garnish.
