Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 red bell or pointed peppers ((1.6 lbs/750g))
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 5 sun dried tomatoes ((jarred))
  • 4 garlic cloves ((peeled and whole))
  • 1 squeeze lemon juice ((around 1/2 tbsp))
  • 2.5 cups vegetable stock ((600ml))
  • salt and pepper ((to season))
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1–2 tbsp homemade pesto
  • creme fraiche ((for topping))

Instructions

  1. Phase 1: Roasting the Red Peppers and Garlic
    Pre-heat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Roughly chop the red peppers.
  2. Roast Preparation
    Place the chopped red bell peppers and the peeled whole garlic cloves in a large baking tray, ensuring they are in a single layer. Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Roasting
    Roast them in the oven until they are beautifully soft and slightly charred, which usually takes around 40 minutes.
  4. Phase 2: Sautéing the Onion
    While the peppers are roasting, finely chop one yellow onion.
  5. Onion Sauté
    In a large pot, warm about 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté it until it becomes translucent and soft, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Phase 3: Simmering the Soup Base
    Once the onions are soft and the peppers are roasted, carefully add the roasted red peppers and garlic to the pot with the sautéed onions.
  7. Add Remaining Ingredients and Simmer
    Toss in the sun dried tomatoes and pour in the vegetable stock. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes. After simmering, turn off the heat.
  8. Phase 4: Blending and Finishing
    Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until it is completely smooth. (If you are using a regular blender, remember to blend in batches and vent the lid to prevent any hot liquid from splattering.)
  9. Seasoning
    Once smooth, taste the roasted red pepper soup for seasoning and add more black pepper if needed.
  10. Final Touch
    Finally, add a small splash of freshly squeezed lemon juice and stir it in thoroughly.
  11. Serving
    Serve your delicious Roasted Red Pepper Soup immediately with a generous drizzle of crème fraîche and a spoonful of homemade pesto.

Notes

  • When blending with a regular blender, blend in batches and vent the lid to prevent hot liquid splattering.
