Method
Step 1
Coat red peppers with olive oil or cooking spray and roast in a 500˚F on a foil lined baking sheet for 10-15 minutes, until peppers start to brown. You can also roast peppers over an open flame on the stove top, turning periodically for 5 minutes to roast on all sides until charred. *Note: You can also buy a 12oz jar of roasted red peppers. Drain and chop peppers before adding to soup
Step 2
While peppers roast, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat in large pot. Add crushed red pepper flakes, onion, celery, and carrots, season with salt and pepper and sauté until tender about 5 minutes. Add garlic, basil, and thyme and sauté 1-2 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in tomato paste and sauté 2 minutes. Add diced and crushed tomato, coconut milk, stock, bay leaves and sugar and bring to a simmer over low-medium heat.
Step 4
Remove peppers from oven and wrap in plastic wrap or foil and allow to steam for 5 minutes. Unwrap peppers and let cool to touch. Remove charred skin, stems, and seeds and add to soup.
Step 5
Remove bay leaves and carefully transfer soup to a blender and puree until smooth. You can also use an immersion blender to puree in pot. Be careful! Soup will be hot and may splatter during transfer.
Step 6
Transfer soup back to pot and allow to simmer on low for another 10 minutes or longer. The longer the simmer, the deeper the flavor. Add more salt, pepper, sugar, or crushed red pepper to your liking.
Step 7
Serve soup by itself or with the toppings listed above.
For the Avocado Cream:
Step 1
Mix all ingredients together in blender until smooth. Add more coconut milk as needed for desired consistency.
