Bell Pepper Soup
A soup made with peppers? Yes that's right and it can be served hot or cold!
Serves 4
Ingredients
¼ cup olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
4 large bell peppers (red, yellow or orange), seeded and diced
1 medium potato
½-1 tsp salt
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1½-2 cups vegetable stock
Method
Heat the olive oil in the large saucepan, add the onion and fry gently for 3-4 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients except the stock and bring to a simmer.
Cover, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally for about an hour until the peppers are tender.
Pour half of the soup into the blender and purée, followed by the other half.
Meanwhile, put the stock in the small saucepan and bring to a simmer.
If you like a smoother soup, now's the time to seive it.
Return the soup to the saucepan, stir in the stock and season to taste.
Serve hot or cold, with any of these toppings:
crème fraîche, sour cream, plain yogurt, chives, dill, scallions
