Roasted Red Pepper Soup with Balsamic Glaze
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 6 large red bell peppers
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler in your oven.
- Cut the red bell peppers in half, remove the seeds and stems, and place them cut side down on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
- Broil the peppers for 10-15 minutes, or until the skins are charred and blistered.
- Remove the peppers from the oven and immediately cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil to steam the peppers for 10 minutes.
- Peel off the charred skins from the peppers and set aside.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the roasted red peppers, vegetable broth, dried thyme, and smoked paprika to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a small saucepan, heat the balsamic glaze over low heat until it becomes slightly thinner and easier to drizzle.
- Ladle the roasted red pepper soup into bowls, drizzle with the balsamic glaze, and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
