Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by washing all the peppers and the onion thoroughly.
- Chop the onion finely.
- Remove the seeds from the red, green, and yellow or green peppers, then chop them into small pieces.
- In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
- Add the chopped red, green, and yellow or green peppers. Cook for another 5-7 minutes or until the peppers start to soften.
- Pour in the 6 cups of chicken soup or chicken broth.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of paprika.
- Increase the heat to bring the soup to a boil.
- Once the soup reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low.
- Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender and cooked through.
- Remove the pot from heat. Allow the soup to cool slightly.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can blend the soup in batches using a regular blender. (Be cautious when blending hot liquids.)
- Return the blended soup to the pot and reheat if necessary.
- Taste the soup and add salt and pepper if desired, adjusting the seasoning to your preference.
- Ladle the sweet pepper soup into bowls.
- Optionally, garnish with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, or a few extra strips of chopped bell pepper for a vibrant finish.
Tips:
- Use fresh, vibrant peppers for the best flavor. Organic options can enhance the natural sweetness.
- To add a bit of heat, consider including a pinch of cayenne pepper or a chopped jalapeño.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the soup using a hand blender after cooking.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste. A dash of salt and pepper can enhance the overall flavor.
Sweet Pepper Soup is a delightful addition to any meal plan. Its rich, flavorful profile and beautiful presentation make it a standout dish. Enjoy this soup on its own, or pair it with a crusty loaf of bread for a complete meal. Bon appétit!
