Method

Put the red and the yellow peppers in two separate saucepans. Divide the celery, onions, garlic and thyme between each pan, then add half the vegetable stock and bay leaves to each pan. Bring to the boil and simmer gently until the vegetables are soft.
Remove the bay leaves and liquidise each soup separately until smooth, rinsing out the liquidiser between soups. Adjust the consistency with a little extra stock if required and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Return each soup to its original pan to reheat.
For the chive cream, mix together the fromage frais and chives and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
To serve, pour equal quantities of each soup into two separate jugs. Holding a jug in each hand at either side of a soup bowl, pour both soups into the bowl. Garnish with the chive cream.
