SWEET RED PEPPER-BEET SOUP



Sweet Red Pepper-Beet Soup image

This tangy chilled puree gets its striking color from earthy beets and red bell peppers. They're cooked with shallots and then blended into a silken soup. Goat cheese, a traditional partner to beets, lends creaminess. A squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkling of sea salt heighten the flavors.

SPICY RED BELL PEPPER SOUP



Spicy Red Bell Pepper Soup image

I love this recipe because it uses fresh, sweet red bell peppers, as opposed to roasted red peppers. It's full of other fresh vegetables and thyme, too, and it freezes exceptionally well. Rice is used as the thickening agent, rather than cream. If you don't like a lot of spice, reduce the amount of cayenne and red pepper flakes.

SWEET-HOT-BEET SOUP



Sweet-Hot-Beet Soup image

Provided by Food Network

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 to 4 medium beets, unpeeled, roots trimmed
3 tablespoons vegetable oil or clarified butter
3 medium onions, peeled and sliced (4 cups)
3 jalapenos, seeded and diced (2 tablespoons)
3-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced (3 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon cumin seeds, freshly ground
2 tablespoons coriander seeds, freshly ground
1 teaspoon turmeric
3/4 teaspoon dried Thai chilies, freshly ground, or ground red pepper flakes
1/4 cup basmati rice, rinsed and drained
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 quarts vegetable or chicken broth
3/4 cup coconut milk
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
3/4 teaspoon garam masala
10 tablespoons yogurt or sour cream
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, picked and washed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Wrap the beets individually with aluminum foil and roast them in the oven until easily pierced by the tip of a paring knife, about 60 to 70 minutes. When the beets are cool enough to handle, trim the ends, and gently rub off their skins with a paper towel. Cut into 1/4-inch slices, place them in a food processor and pulse, scraping down the sides often, until they are finely chopped, but not completely pureed. Set aside. Place the vegetable oil or clarified butter in a 6 quart soup pot over medium heat and add the onions. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are wilted and translucent, but not browned, about 15 minutes. Add the jalapenos and ginger and continue to cook 5 more minutes. Follow with the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric and chilies and continue stirring until the spices are well cooked, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the basmati rice until well coated with the oil, season with the salt and pepper, and add the vegetable stock to the pot. Bring the stock to a boil and immediately reduce the heat until the soup just simmers. Allow the soup to cook, covered, until the rice is very tender, about 20 minutes. Using either a blender or an immersion blender process the soup until you have a rich puree. Whisk in the coconut milk and the chopped beets, and return the soup to the fire. Bring the soup slowly back to a boil and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper as required. Finish the soup with the honey, if desired, and the garam masala, and serve in warmed bowls with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream and a few sprigs of fresh cilantro.;

RED PEPPER SOUP



Red Pepper Soup image

While I don't have scientific proof of it, Red Pepper Soup works for me as a head cold remedy! It is a good gift to take when visiting a sick friend, too. For a pretty touch, top the soup with grated cheese and parsley. We enjoy it with jalapeno cheese buns. You can also serve it with warm garlic bread. -Barb Nelson, Victoria, British Columbia

RED BELL PEPPER AND SWEET POTATO SOUP



Red Bell Pepper and Sweet Potato Soup image

I came up with this soup last night as a way to use the massive quantity of bell peppers I bought on sale this week. The sweet potato I used was of the pale variety, but I'm sure it would taste delicious with an orange sweet potato.

1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: For the best flavor, use ripe, red bell peppers. They should be firm and have a deep red color.
  • Roast the peppers: Roasting the peppers brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast them in the oven or on the grill.
  • Use fresh beets: Fresh beets are best for this soup, but you can also use canned beets if you're short on time.
  • Don't overcook the beets: Beets should be tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooking them will make them mushy.
  • Season to taste: The amount of salt and pepper you add will depend on your personal preferences. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Serve with a garnish: A dollop of sour cream or yogurt, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, or a drizzle of olive oil are all great ways to garnish this soup.

Conclusion:

This sweet red pepper and beet soup is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy these two vegetables. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up leftover roasted peppers and beets. So next time you're looking for a new soup to try, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
