Time 1h45m

Yield 6 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large red bell peppers (1 lb)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1 bay leaf
1 large onion, sliced (2 cups)
2 large carrots, sliced (1/2 lb)
4 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Place bell peppers on baking sheet, and roast 1 hour, or until skin is wrinkled and blackened all over, turning peppers occasionally with tongs. Transfer to bowl, and cover with plastic wrap 10 minutes to steam. When peppers are cool enough to handle, rub off blackened peel, and remove seeds.
  • Heat oil in 2-qt saucepan over medium heat. Add curry powder and bay leaf, and stir 10 seconds. Add onion, carrots, garlic, and salt. Cover, and cook 10 minutes, or until onion is translucent.
  • Add 4 cups water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, covered, 25 minutes.
  • Transfer carrot mixture to blender, add bell peppers, and puree until smooth. Stir in lemon juice. Garnish servings with bell pepper slices, if using.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover roasted red peppers. It's also a great make-ahead meal. I like to make a big batch on the weekend and then eat it throughout the week for lunch or dinner.

I love this soup! It's so simple to make and always turns out great. I like to add a bit of chopped fresh cilantro at the end for an extra pop of flavor.

This soup was easy to make and packed with flavor. I used homemade chicken broth instead of vegetable broth and it really made a difference. I'll be making this again for sure.

I'm not usually a fan of carrot soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The red peppers added a nice sweetness and the carrots were perfectly tender. I served it with a dollop of sour cream and it was perfect.

This soup was a hit with my family! The colors were vibrant and the taste was delicious. I added a bit of extra cumin and paprika to give it a little more depth of flavor. Will definitely be making this again.
