Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 red bell pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 green onion, chopped
4 cups frozen peas, thawed
2 cups vegetable broth
½ cup chopped fresh basil
salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Place the pepper onto the prepared baking sheet. Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the pepper has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Turn pepper over to blacken all sides. Place the blackened pepper into a bowl and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow the pepper to steam as it cools, about 20 minutes. Cut the pepper in half and remove seeds; strip and discard skin from pepper, chop, and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add green onion and roasted red bell pepper; cook and stir for 3 minutes. Stir in peas and cook for another 3 minutes.
  • Pour in vegetable broth, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until peas are tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in basil, remove from heat, and let cool. Pour pea mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Return soup to pot over medium heat and cook until heated through; season with salt and cracked black pepper to taste.

Loved the idea of this soup, but it sadly didn't meet my expectations. The flavors were a bit muddled and the texture was too thick.

I accidentally added too much salt, but the soup was still delicious! I would recommend being careful with the seasoning.

The soup was a bit too watery for my liking, but the flavors were still enjoyable. Will try it again with less broth.

Wasn't a fan of the basil in this soup, but everything else was great. Will try it again without the basil next time.
