Categories     Soup/Stew     Bean     Pepper     Tomato     Freeze/Chill     Low Cal     Low/No Sugar     Summer     Chill     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 8 cups, serving 4 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup dried white beans such as cannellini or Great Northern beans, picked over
1 yellow onion, halved
1 bay leaf
1 fresh thyme sprig
2 1/4 pounds vine-ripened tomatoes, cored and quartered
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped fine
1 medium yellow bell pepper, chopped fine
1 medium red onion, chopped fine
1 small fresh jalapeño chili, minced (wear rubber gloves)
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup packed fresh coriander sprigs, washed well, spun dry, and chopped fine

Steps:

  • In a 4-quart saucepan simmer beans, yellow onion, bay leaf, and thyme in water to cover by 3 inches, partially covered with lid, until beans are tender, about 50 minutes. Season beans with salt and cool completely in cooking liquid. Drain beans in a colander and discard yellow onion, bay leaf, and thyme. Beans may be cooked 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
  • Finely chop enough of tomatoes to measure 1 1/2 cups and reserve. In a blender purée remaining tomatoes, half of bell peppers, and half of onion until smooth and in a bowl stir together purée, beans, reserved tomatoes, remaining bell peppers and red onion, jalapeño, vinegar, oil, and salt to taste. Chill soup, covered, at least until cold, about 6 hours, and up to 1 day. Before serving, stir in coriander and season with salt and pepper if necessary.

Tips:

  • Select the best peppers: Choose yellow bell peppers that are firm and brightly colored. Avoid peppers with blemishes or soft spots.
  • Roast the peppers properly: Roasting the peppers brings out their natural sweetness and smoky flavor. Make sure to roast them until the skins are blistered and blackened.
  • Use a high-quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and made with real vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the beans: White beans are delicate, so it's important to not overcook them. Simmer them gently until they are tender but still hold their shape.
  • Add fresh herbs for flavor: Fresh herbs like basil, thyme, or oregano can brighten up the flavor of the soup. Add them at the end of cooking to preserve their delicate flavor.

Conclusion:

This chilled yellow pepper and white bean soup is a refreshing and flavorful summer dish. It's easy to make and can be served as a light lunch or dinner. The soup is also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious soup, give this one a try.
