Place the bell peppers on a baking sheet and broil on the top rack of the oven using tongs to turn them as each side blackens.

Chop the peppers and set aside.

In a large pot over medium heat saute the onion and garlic in the oil for 5 minutes or until onion is translucent. Now add the chopped roasted red bell peppers and saute for 2 to 3 more minutes.

Next add the chicken broth and the beans stirring well. Using a blender puree the soup in small batches and return to the pot over low heat for 5 minutes.
