Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 onion
160g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 red pepper
80g
1 potato
200g
4 tomatoes
520g
2 tbsp tomato puree
30g
4 cups chicken gravy
800g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Before you start cooking, prepare all the ingredients. Finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves. Chop the red pepper and tomatoes. Peel and dice the potato.
2. Heat Olive Oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
3. Sauté Onion and Garlic: Add the finely chopped onion to the pot. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes, until the onion becomes soft and translucent. Stir occasionally to prevent browning. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.
4. Add Red Pepper and Potato: Add the chopped red pepper and diced potato to the pot. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Add Tomatoes and Tomato Puree: Stir in the chopped tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of tomato puree. Mix well, ensuring that all the vegetables are coated with the puree.
6. Pour Chicken Gravy (Broth): Pour in the 4 cups of chicken gravy or broth. Stir to combine all ingredients.
7. Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
8. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes and peppers are tender.
9. Blend the Soup: Once all the vegetables are cooked through, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer the soup to a countertop blender in batches and blend until smooth. Be cautious of the hot liquid.
10. Season to Taste: After blending, return the soup to the pot if needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
11. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately. You can garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of fresh herbs (such as basil or parsley), or a dollop of yogurt or cream if desired.

Tips:

- Choose ripe, high-quality tomatoes for the best flavor. Fresh, ripe tomatoes will add a natural sweetness and depth to your soup.

- Roast the red pepper before adding it to the soup. Roasting enhances the flavor and adds a smoky dimension to the dish.

- Use a hand blender for a smoother texture. After simmering the soup, blend it with a hand blender to achieve a silky consistency.

- Add a touch of cream for richness. If you prefer a creamier soup, consider stirring in some heavy cream or coconut milk right before serving.

- Garnish with fresh herbs. Adding a sprinkle of fresh basil, parsley, or cilantro can brighten up the flavors and add a fresh finish to your soup.

This Tomato and Capsicum Soup is an easy yet flavorful recipe that will surely become a favorite in your household. With these tips and simple ingredients, you can create a delicious, nourishing meal. Enjoy your homemade soup with a side of crusty bread or a light salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
