Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast them for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is blistered and charred.
- Remove from the oven and place the peppers in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let them steam for about 10 minutes. This will make the skin easier to remove.
- Once cooled, peel off the skins, remove the seeds, and chop the peppers coarsely. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and cook until it's soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and chopped red hot chili peppers. Cook for another 2 minutes, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
- Add the canned tomatoes, roasted red bell peppers, and vegetable broth to the pot.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Use an immersion blender to carefully blend the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, let the soup cool slightly and transfer it in batches to a regular blender, then return it to the pot.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
- Serve hot with your favorite bread or a side salad.
Tips:
- For a smoky flavor, make sure to roast the red peppers until their skins are charred and blackened.
- Using fresh garlic can enhance the aroma and taste of the soup.
- Blend the soup to your desired consistency, either smooth or a bit chunky, to suit your preference.
- Add the Greek yogurt at the end to ensure it doesn’t curdle and to maintain its creamy texture.
- Garnish with fresh coriander and a drizzle of olive oil before serving for an added touch of freshness.
This roasted capsicum, tomato, and coriander soup is a delicious and wholesome option for any meal. The combination of roasted peppers, tomatoes, and the right amount of heat from the chili peppers provides a depth of flavor that’s both comforting and invigorating. Enjoy this soup with a side of crusty bread or a simple salad for a satisfying and nutritious meal.
