Bell Pepper Soup (Capcicum)

Tuesday, January 20, 2009

This is another soup which i tried and is a big hit. Quick and healthy made with very less & fresh ingredients. I used 1 yellow and 1 red pepper, but it is okay to use both red or both yellow. I felt this is the best way we can consume healthy vegetables. This soup with a your choice of bread makes a complete healthy low fat meal. Good for weight watchers.

Ingredients

2 large peppers chopped, 1 Yellow and 1 red (capcicum)
2 garlic cloves peeled
1 small onion (1/2 cup chopped)
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil
salt to taste

Method

1) heat Oil olive and throw in cumin powder, add chopped onion and fry for a minute and then add chopped red and yellow bell peppers, garlic and cover and cook in medium-low heat for around 10 mins

2) Once the ingredients are cooled, blend them into smooth paste with 2 cups of water and Strain the juice to the same pan you used for frying the veggies.

3) Bring the soup to boil, add salt and pepper. At the end add dried Basil and serve Hot with your choice of bread

Notes:

You can avoid garlic/Onion if you don't prefer to eat
