Roasted Red Pepper Soup
Enjoy this smooth, smoky soup with a little bit of spice, made from just five simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 400 g (2 cups) roasted red pepper
- 720 ml (3 cups) vegetable stock [or chicken stock]
- 45 g (¼ cup) cashews
- 20 g (1 cup) fresh basil leaves
- (½ teaspoon) black peppercorns
Directions
- Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
- Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed.
- Run the Hot Soup Program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 5 minutes 45 seconds.
Chef's Notes
For a thicker soup, use 2 cups (480 ml) of stock. Using cashews in a soup adds a creamy texture and the power of the Vitamix enhances the flavor of both the nuts and roasted red peppers. Try topping this soup with some crushed red pepper flakes or feta cheese.
