Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast in the oven until their skin has a blackened char, about 25-30 minutes.
  2. Once done, transfer the peppers into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 15 minutes. This will make the pepper skin easy to peel off.
  3. While the peppers are resting, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery, sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  4. Peel the skin off the roasted peppers, remove the seeds, and chop them. Add to the pot.
  5. Add chicken broth, bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot, letting the ingredients blend together for about 30 minutes.
  6. Use a blender or an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. Return the soup to the pot.
  7. Stir in heavy cream, season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. If using, add smoked paprika, fresh basil leaves (chopped), and garnish with croutons before serving.
