Silky Smooth Roasted Pepper Soup
A flavourful soup that is rich in vitamins.
Ingredients
| 2 | potatoes | 400 g | |
| 3 cups | chicken broth | 750 mL | |
| 2 | yellow or red sweet peppers | 400 g | |
| 1 | red onions | 150 g | |
| 1 1/2 clove | garlic | ||
| 1 tsp | olive oil | 5 mL | |
| salt [optional] | |||
| ground pepper to taste [optional] |
Before you start
The vegetables can be cooked in the oven or using an outdoor grill. A blender or food processor will be very useful to purée the soup.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 205°C/400°F.
- Peel the potatoes, then put them in a pot. Pour in the broth. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the potatoes are soft, about 15 min.
- Meanwhile, cut the peppers in half, removing the seeds and the stalks, then put them on an oiled baking sheet, cut side down. Cut the onions into 1 cm slices then add them to the sheet. Add the garlic cloves, unpeeled. Cook in the middle of the oven until the vegetables are soft, about 15 min. Turn them once halfway through cooking. Alternatively, grill the vegetables on an outdoor grill.
- Remove the vegetables from the oven, cover the peppers then let them cool down about 10 min. Peel the peppers and garlic then add them to the pot along with the onions. Cook a couple of minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Purée the soup in a blender until a creamy consistency is obtained. Serve.
Remarks
The soup keeps up to 7 days in the refrigerator or up to 4 months in the freezer.

2014-12-31T17:00:21+00:00 december 31, 2014 | I would make this recipe againExcellent. I used small potatoes cut them up and left the peel on so tat they would cook faster. I also just cut up a yellow pepper as well as a 1/2 a red onion and once cooked in the oven just threw it all in to the pot, and pureed once done. It was not as nice looking as the pic on the recipe but certainly tasted great with the carmalised onions and the peel from the potatoes ect.. Will do once again and very easy.

2011-03-08T21:04:11+00:00 march 08, 2011 | I would make this recipe againTotally loved this soup! I had some left over potato soup so I used that as the basis for this soup instead of step 2. Either way works! I bet even left over mashed potatoes would work. The red pepper makes it so yummy. I spooned the last bit of soup onto my fish fillets--nice as a sauce too!

april 05, 2009 | I would make this recipe againThis was good, nothing really outstanding. I'm still on the lookout for a pepperpot soup recipe that blew me away several years ago.
