Bell Pepper Potato And Coconut Milk Soup Food

ROASTED RED PEPPER POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Roast the bell peppers until blackened all over: Roast the red bell peppers by placing them over or under an open flame until they blacken on all sides. (You can use a grill, cooktop gas burner, or oven broiler.) Place the blackened peppers in a bowl, cover the bowl with a plate, and let the peppers steam for 5 minutes, or until the skins feel like they can easily be slipped off. Remove the peppers from the bowl, peel off the blackened skins, remove the seeds. Chop the peppers roughly.
• Sauté the onions: Heat the butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the potatoes and garlic: Add the potatoes and cook another 1 to 2 minutes, then add the garlic and the chopped roasted peppers. Stir well and cook for 2 minutes.
• Add the stock and simmer: Add the stock, stir well and bring to a simmer. Cook over medium heat until potatoes are soft, about 12 to 15 minutes.
• Purée the soup: Purée the soup in a blender or food processor until very smooth. Fill the blender about halfway with the soup. Start the blender on low and keep your hand on the top, in case the lid wants to pop off from the rising steam. Once everything is well chopped, turn the blender to its highest setting and blend until smooth, about 1 minute. You might need to do this in batches.
• Add the cream, season to taste, and serve: Return to a clean pot set over low heat. Add the cream, stir well and taste. Add some cayenne, salt and pepper to taste.

CORN, POTATO AND COCONUT MILK SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the scallion whites and light greens and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potato, ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
• Add all but 2 tablespoons of the corn to the broth and continue to simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat and let cool at least 5 minutes. Carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill blender more than halfway full).
• Stir in the coconut milk and reheat the soup if necessary, adjusting the consistency and seasoning with additional water, salt and pepper. Put the reserved corn in small bowl and microwave for a few seconds, just to remove the chill.
• Serve hot and top with almonds, reserved corn and sliced scallion greens.
