Roasted Red and Yellow Pepper Soup is a smooth, vibrant soup bursting with naturally sweet and slightly smoky flavor. Roasting the peppers enhances their richness, creating a comforting and elegant dish perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 3 red bell peppers
  • 3 yellow bell peppers
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut milk (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil or parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Slice the red and yellow bell peppers in half, remove seeds and stems, and place them cut-side down on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 20–25 minutes, until the skins are blistered and slightly charred.
  4. Remove from the oven and cover loosely with foil for 10 minutes to steam. Peel off the skins.
  5. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent.
  6. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  7. Add the roasted peppers and broth to the pot. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10–15 minutes.
  8. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer to a blender in batches.
  9. Stir in dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  10. Add heavy cream or coconut milk if desired and heat gently without boiling.
  11. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Jarred roasted peppers can be used as a shortcut, though fresh roasting provides deeper flavor.
  • Use coconut milk and vegetable broth for a vegan version.
  • Add a pinch of smoked paprika for extra smokiness.
  • For a thicker soup, simmer longer or blend in a small cooked potato.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
