Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 red bell pepper, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 yellow bell pepper, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 orange bell pepper, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
1 large carrots, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 ½ teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
4 canned roma (plum) tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon water
1 ½ teaspoons hot sauce, or to taste
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup lentils
2 bay leaves
¾ teaspoon salt
2 pinches freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon chile oil, or to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heating element in your oven and preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Arrange red bell pepper halves, yellow bell pepper halves, and orange bell pepper halves onto prepared baking sheet with cut sides down.
  • Roast peppers under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place the blackened peppers into a bowl and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Steam as they cool until the skin has loosened completely, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins. Cut peppers into small dice.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion and carrot in hot oil until onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, tarragon, thyme, and paprika; continue to cook and stir until garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir roasted peppers, tomatoes, water, and hot sauce into the peppers mixture, place a cover on the pot, and cook until the tomatoes soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour vegetable broth into the pot; add lentils, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil, cover the pot, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until lentils are tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Pour soup into a blender or food processor no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse several time to get the soup to be only slightly chunky. Repeat processing until all soup has been blended.
