Ingredients
- Red bell peppers: 4 large about 2 lbs or 907 grams
- Olive oil: 3 tbsp 45 ml
- Yellow onions: 2 medium chopped
- Garlic cloves: 4 minced
- Vegetable broth: 4 cups 946 ml
- Canned diced tomatoes: 1 can 14 oz or 396 grams
- Cumin: 1 tsp 5 ml
- Paprika: 1 tsp 5 ml
- Salt: to taste
- Black pepper: to taste
- Fresh basil or cilantro for garnish optional
Instructions
- Begin by preheating the oven to 475°F (245°C).
- While the oven’s heating, rub olive oil over the bell peppers.
- Once the oven is ready, roast the red bell peppers for about 25-30 minutes. Turn them occasionally to ensure even roasting.
- When the skin becomes charred, remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool.
- After cooling, peel off the skin and discard the seeds and stems.
- In a large pot, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat.
- Add chopped onions, and sauté until translucent, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Throw in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
- Add the roasted red bell peppers, diced tomatoes, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the vegetable broth into the pot.
- Let the mixture simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
- Using a hand blender, blend the soup until it reaches a smooth consistency. If it’s too thick, add more vegetable broth until desired consistency is achieved.
- Taste the Vegan Roasted Red Pepper Soup and adjust seasonings if necessary.
- Serve hot and, if desired, garnish with fresh basil or cilantro.
Notes
TIPS:
For a smokier flavor, consider adding a dash of smoked paprika. Fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme can add depth to the flavor profile. If you’re keen on a creamier texture, add a dollop of vegan coconut cream before serving. Always choose ripe red bell peppers for maximum flavor and sweetness.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
Crunch Element Consider pairing this Vegan Roasted Red Pepper Soup with vegan garlic bread or crusty whole grain rolls. Salad: A light, leafy green salad with a zesty vinaigrette complements the richness of the soup. Garnish: Roasted pumpkin seeds or pine nuts sprinkled on top add a nice crunch and flavor contrast. Drinks: Pair with a chilled glass of vegan green juice or a sparkling water with a splash of lemon.
