Creamy Roasted Pepper Soup image

This soup is so satisfying all by itself or served with homemade croutons, a hunk of crusy bread, or a grilled cheese sandwich. It is pretty simple to make and you can adjust the amount of each ingredient to suit your taste. Feel free to use all red peppers, or a mix of red, yellow, and orange. If you prefer not to roast the peppers yourself, use a jar of roasted peppers. Enjoy!

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 tablespoon butter
2 red bell peppers
1 yellow bell pepper (or 1 orange bell pepper)
2 large shallots, chopped
4 cups vegetable stock
2 small potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1 inch cubes
1 bunch fresh dill, chopped
2 tablespoons sour cream
salt

Steps:

  • To Roast the Peppers:Cut the insides out of the peppers so that you have large flat pieces of peppers. Lay the peppers skin side up on a pan and lightly oil them. Roast the peppers in the oven at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes. Place peppers in a zipper top bag and allow to sit for several minutes. (The steam will help seperate the skins from the peppers). Remove the skins from the peppers and roughly chop them.
  • For the Soup:Heat olive oil and butter in the pan.
  • Add shallots, and cook for a few minutes.
  • Add chopped potatoes, roasted peppers, and vegetable stock.
  • Season liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Cook mixture until the potatoes are tender.
  • Use an imersion blender to puree the soup.
  • Stir in sour cream and dill.
  • Serve! :).
