- 2 15 ounce cans of chopped tomatoes
- 3 red bell peppers
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 3 tablespoons of tomato paste
- 1 medium Yukon Gold potato
- 3 cups of water
Wash and dry all vegetables. To prepare the roasted red peppers, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the washed red peppers on a baking sheet and place in oven for approximately 30 minutes. Once skin is blistered or charred, remove peppers from oven and place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let cool for 15 minutes.
While peppers are roasting, prepare other ingredients for the soup. Dice the medium onion and garlic into small pieces. Wash the potato and scrub the skin. Cut the potato into 1/2-inch chunks. Heat a large pot over medium heat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Place onions and garlic into pot and stir. Once onions and garlic are slightly browned, add in the potatoes and tomatoes and stir. Remove peppers from bowl, peel the charred skin, remove seeds, and place into pot. Add water and let simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool for 15 minutes. In batches, transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth.
