Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 red bell peppers
- 6 tomatoes
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 cups of vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup of heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler in your oven.
- Cut the red bell peppers in half, remove the seeds and stems, and place them on a baking sheet, skin side up.
- Broil the peppers for 10-15 minutes, or until the skins are blackened and blistered.
- Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the peppers steam for 10 minutes. Then, peel off the skins and chop the peppers.
- While the peppers are steaming, bring a pot of water to a boil. Score the bottoms of the tomatoes with an 'X' and blanch them in the boiling water for 1 minute. Remove the tomatoes and place them in a bowl of ice water. Peel off the skins, remove the cores, and chop the tomatoes.
- In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Add the chopped roasted red peppers, chopped tomatoes, 4 cups of vegetable broth, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree until smooth, then return it to the pot.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the soup for an additional 5 minutes, then serve hot.
