Description

This Pureed Red Pepper and Potato Soup is a celebration of simple, rustic flavors that come together to create something truly special. The natural sweetness of red bell peppers pairs beautifully with the earthy richness of new potatoes, resulting in a velvety smooth texture that feels like a warm hug in a bowl. Aromatic onions, celery, carrots, and garlic form a fragrant base, simmered until tender before being blended into perfection. It&# 226;€™s a versatile dish that shines as a light lunch or a hearty starter. Perfect for chilly evenings, this soup improves with age, so consider making it a day ahead. Garnish with fresh basil and crunchy croutons for added texture and color.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat the virgin olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion, celery rib, and finely chopped carrot; sauté for about 10 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in the garlic cloves and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the peeled new potatoes, diced red bell peppers, and 6 cups of stock (chicken or vegetable) to the pot.
  5. Season with a little salt and bring the mixture to a boil.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the vegetables are thoroughly tender.
  7. Carefully puree the soup in batches using a blender or food processor until completely smooth.
  8. Return the pureed soup to the pot and reheat gently over low heat.
  9. Adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  10. Ladle into bowls and serve hot.
