The Best roasted red pepper soup recipe

It is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or for when we have guests over because it looks fancy but is actually very simple to make. The best part is that it is packed with vitamins from the red peppers and is a healthy way to warm up on a cold day.

🥘Ingredients

For the Soup

6 large red bell peppers
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2Cut the red bell peppers in half and remove the seeds and stems. Place them cut side down on the baking sheet.
3Roast the peppers for 20-25 minutes, until the skin is charred and blistered.
4Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let them steam for 10 minutes. This makes the skin easy to peel.
5Peel the skin off the peppers and roughly chop them.
6In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
7Add the chopped roasted peppers and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
8Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, let the soup cool slightly, then blend in batches.
9Return the soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Heat through over low heat, but do not boil.
10Serve hot, optionally garnished with a swirl of cream or fresh basil.
