Notes
- Saute bell peppers well before adding liquid as we want the taste of sauteed bell peppers not boiled peppers in the soup.
- Cut the potatoes into small pieces to reduce the cooking time.
- You can also roast peppers and potatoes to use in the soup.
- A similar soup can also be made using red or orange peppers.
- Instead of potato, you can also add carrot, sweet potato, boiled chickpeas, red lentils, or yellow mung beans to this soup.
- You can also add some coconut milk to this soup to make it creamier.
- If you are not satisfied with the color of your soup, add a pinch of turmeric powder.
- I have used just salt, black pepper, and bay leaf to flavor this soup. You can use more seasoning like thyme, oregano, garlic powder, etc.
- If you don't have an immersion blender (hand blender), use a regular stand blender to blend the soup.
