Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

2 large red bell peppers, roasted and peeled
4 ripe tomatoes, chopped
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1 avocado, ripe
1 cup coconut milk or heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil for sautéing

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Sauté the onion and garlic until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Add the roasted red peppers, tomatoes, and vegetable broth to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 15 minutes.
Stir in the fresh basil leaves and blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or a regular blender.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado and mix it with coconut milk or cream, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with a swirl of the creamy avocado mixture.

Notes

Tip: For a richer flavor, roast the bell peppers at home by placing them under a broiler until charred, then peel off the skin.

For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes during the cooking process. If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the soup longer until completely silky. This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days or frozen for up to a month.

Serve with crusty whole grain bread or a side salad for a complete meal. You can also experiment with toppings like croutons, fresh herbs, or a drizzle of balsamic reduction for added flavor.
