Pureed Red Pepper and Potato Soup image

This is a beautiful soup with a deep, rich flavor to match the color. Make sure to strain it after you puree it, a quick step that absolves you of the longer step of peeling the peppers.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 1h30m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus a drizzle for serving
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large carrot, peeled and chopped
Salt, preferably kosher salt
4 plump garlic cloves, green shoots removed, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 pounds (4 large) red bell peppers, seeded, membranes removed, cut in large dice
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 pound russet potatoes (about 2 medium), peeled and diced
2 quarts chicken or vegetable stock
A bouquet garni made with a bay leaf and a couple of sprigs each thyme and parsley, tied together in a bundle
Freshly ground pepper
Garlic croutons (toast thin slices of baguette and rub with a cut clove of garlic)
Slivered basil leaves or chopped fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot and add the onion and carrot. Cook, stirring often, until the onion begins to soften, and add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Continue to cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes, and stir in the garlic and the tomato paste. Stir for a minute or two, until the garlic is fragrant and the tomato paste has darkened, and add the peppers, paprika, and another 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the peppers begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes, stock, and bouquet garni and bring to a simmer. Add salt to taste, 1 to 2 teaspoons, cover and simmer over low heat for 1 hour. Remove the bouquet garni.
  • Using an immersion blender, or in a blender or food processor fitted with the steel blade (working in batches and covering the blender lid or food processor with a kitchen towel to prevent the hot soup from splashing), blend the soup until smooth. Strain the soup through a medium strainer, pushing it through the strainer with a spatula or the bowl of a ladle, and return to the heat. Heat through, add salt and pepper to taste, and serve. Garnish with garlic croutons and slivered fresh basil or chopped thyme, and drizzle a few drops of olive oil over each serving if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the best potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are the best choices for this soup, as they hold their shape well and don't become mushy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking the potatoes, make sure not to overcrowd the pot, as this will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your soup the best flavor. If you can, try to use organic vegetables whenever possible.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The soup is ready when the potatoes are tender and the vegetables are cooked through. Overcooking the soup will make the vegetables mushy.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a bit of cayenne pepper for a little heat.

Conclusion:

Creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor, this potato and pepper jack soup is the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day. It’s easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
