Ingredients

  • 5 red bell peppers cut into quarter pieces
  • 3 heads of garlic cut about 1/4 inch off the top
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 1 shallot chopped
  • 5 sun dried tomatoes jarred in oil
  • 1/4 tsp celery salt
  • 2.5 cups vegetable or chicken stock
  • salt + freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  • Roast the Red Peppers + Garlic: Cut the bell peppers into quarter pieces (as shown in video). Place them on a baking sheet with skin side up. Place the garlic in foil (as shown in video below). Drizzle the tops of the garlic with olive oil and season with salt. Wrap the garlic in foil and transfer to the baking pan with red peppers. Roast the red peppers and garlic for about 45 minutes at 400°F.
  • Peel the Skins: Immediately transfer the roasted red peppers into an airtight container. Lets the peppers steam in the container for about 20 minutes. Steam created inside the container will help make it easier to peel the skins off the peppers. Once the peppers have cooled down, peel the skins off the peppers with your fingers (as shown in video below). You may be tempted to run them under water. No matter what please do not run the peppers under water! 
  • Sauté Aromatics: In a pot, sauté the onions, shallots and celery seed until the onions become slightly caramelized. Then add the roasted garlic, sun dried tomatoes, red peppers and vegetable stock. Simmer the soup for 20 minutes.
  • Purée: Transfer the soup to a blender and add the lemon juice. Purée the soup until you get a fine consistency. Make sure to cool the soup a bit before blending. When transferring the soup to a blender, make sure the soup is either cooled or lift the fill cap of the lid slightly to let the steam escape from the jar. If you have an immersion blender, you can blend the soup directly in the pot. Adjust the seasoning with fine sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  • Garnish: I garnished my soup with fresh oregano leaves and a drizzle of heavy cream. If you want to keep it vegan, drizzle a little bit of extra virgin olive oil or vegan pesto. Enjoy!
