Units Scale

Roasted Red Pepper Soup:

  • 6 large red bell peppers, roasted and peeled
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Roast the peppers: Place the whole red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are charred.
  3. Remove and peel: Remove the peppers from the oven, place them in a bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let them steam for 10 minutes, then peel off the charred skins, remove the seeds, and chop the flesh.
  4. Sauté onions and garlic: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened.
  5. Add remaining ingredients: Add the roasted red peppers, vegetable broth, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
  6. Blend the soup: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.
  7. Adjust seasoning and serve: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh thyme.
