Comfort in a Bowl: Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Soup That’s Soup-erb
Hey, fellow foodies! 🎉 If you’re like me, always juggling a million things at once (work, life, maybe even a side hustle or two), you’ll know the joys of discovering a dish that’s budget-friendly, quick to whip up, and doesn’t require a laundry list of obscure ingredients. Enter my all-time favorite: Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Soup. It’s a bowl of cozy that feels like getting a warm hug from the inside. And guess what? You can make it even on your craziest weekday evenings!
The Magic Ingredient List
Let’s keep it simple and fuss-free. Here’s what you’ll need to make this dreamy soup happen:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 large red bell peppers, roasted and peeled
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or coconut cream for a dairy-free option
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Step-by-Step: No Fuss, Just Flavor
- Prep Those Peppers: Start by roasting your red peppers. It’s super easy—just pop them in a preheated oven at 450°F until the skins are bubbly and charred. Cool them down, then peel away the skins. I promise, it’s worth it!
- Sizzle the Aromatics: Heat your olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onions and garlic, and sauté until they’re golden and fragrant.
- Add the Stars: Chop your roasted red peppers and add them to the pot. Sprinkle that smoked paprika in for an extra depth of flavor.
- Bathe in Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth, give it a good stir, and let the pot simmer for around 20 minutes. This is when the magic starts to happen.
- Blend It Up: Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender (or use an immersion blender if you’re fancy) and blend until smooth. Return it to the pot, set over medium heat, and stir in the cream.
- Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the creamy goodness into bowls and top with fresh basil leaves for that extra pop of color and flavor.
