Description

A creamy and flavorful roasted red pepper soup that’s perfect for a warm meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 1/2 cups diced Yukon gold potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes, peeled)
  • 1 1/2 cups diced carrots (about 5 carrots)
  • 16 oz jar roasted red pepper (drained)
  • 1 1/4 tsp salt
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 2 tsp harissa seasoning blend
  • 1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 4 cups vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. Add olive oil to a soup pot over medium heat. Once heated, add onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add carrots and potatoes and continue cooking for 5 minutes.
  3. Add roasted red pepper, salt, pepper, harissa, smoked paprika, and tomato paste and stir well to coat vegetables.
  4. Add vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are fork tender.
  5. Transfer the soup to a heat-safe blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. You can also use an immersion blender for this. If your blender is small, you may need to blend in two batches.
  6. Pour into a bowl and garnish with olive oil, pepper, and fresh herbs. Serve warm.

Notes

  • This soup can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for a few days.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding more or less harissa seasoning.
