Herbs de Provence Sweet Pepper Soup

With Gruyure Croutons

Herbes de Provence is a mix of dried herbs popular in the south of France.  The version I found at the bulk foods store recently included fennel seeds, thyme, dried basil, rosemary, oregano, dried savory, marjoram and lavender buds.  I thought the aromatic herbs might work well with sweet peppers for a soup.
