Bell Pepper Soup Recipe, Asian Roasted Red Bell Pepper Soup

Vegan Roasted Red Bell Pepper Soup recipe from scratch. Infused with ginger and coconut milk. With step by step pictures.

We love soups at home. My son keeps asking for soup dinners. Whenever he misses school due to illness, he looks forward to cooking soup with me. He would sit on the counter top and cut veggies. These days, I need to handover my big knife to him when he comes to cook. Thats the deal we made recently. My husband got these red bell peppers from the market and I finally made soup today. Roasting red bell peppers takes this dish one notch higher. Here is how to do a nice comforting asian inspired Roasted Red Bell Pepper Soup.
“Of soup and love, the first is the best.”

Roast the bell pepper one by one on a gas stove until charred on all sides. Remove from fire and cover the charred pepper in a bowl and immediately cover with a cling wrap. Let it rest in the bowl for 10 minutes. The steam will help in removing the charred skin. Remove the skin by cleaning the peppers in water and place the peppers in a bowl. Discard the stems, skin, and the seeds.

Heat coconut oil in a pan and add in the garlic cloves, chopped onion, chopped carrot and the roughly chopped ginger. Fry for a minute. Add in the roughly chopped roasted red bell pepper. Add in a teaspoon each of Worcestershire sauce and vinegar.

Add in the salt, sugar and a few sprigs of basil. Add a cup of water. Pressure cook for 5 minutes. Switch off the flame. Let the pressure in the cooker release naturally. Grind the mixture to a smooth puree.

Make a slurry with corn starch and water. Set aside.

Take a pan and add in the bell pepper puree, corn starch slurry and the coconut milk. Bring it to a slow simmer. Once the mixture comes to a boil, switch off the flame.

Serve the soup hot.
