Ingredients
  • 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 large red bell peppers, roasted and peeled
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for non-vegetarians)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: A splash of lemon juice for brightness
Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until their skins are charred and blistered. Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl, covering it with plastic wrap to steam. This will help loosen the skins for easy peeling.

  2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  3. Add the diced potatoes to the pot along with the vegetable broth, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  4. While the potatoes are cooking, peel the roasted peppers and remove the seeds. Chop them into smaller pieces.

  5. Once the potatoes are cooked, add the roasted peppers to the pot. Use an immersion blender to blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the broth and leave the rest for added texture.

  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. For a bright finish, add a splash of lemon juice before serving.

  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Enjoy your Predictive Potato Pepper Broth!
