Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large red bell peppers
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 28 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 cup basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Cut the red bell peppers in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and membrane, and place them cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the peppers and roast them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the skins are charred.
Remove the peppers from the oven, place them in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them steam for 10 minutes.
While the peppers are cooling, chop the onion and garlic.
In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
Add the canned diced tomatoes with their juices and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir to combine.
Peel the charred skins off the cooled red peppers, chop them, and add them to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth, or carefully transfer the soup to a blender to puree in batches, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the coconut milk and add the basil leaves. Season with salt, black pepper, and sugar. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with extra fresh basil if desired.
