-
Lightly oil a baking pan to prevent the peppers from sticking.
-
Halve and seed the peppers, then place them cut side down on the baking pan. This allows them to roast evenly.
-
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the skins begin to wrinkle and the peppers develop a deeper golden color. This roasting process enhances their flavor.
-
Meanwhile, warm the olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery, and sautรฉ for about 10 minutes until the onions are translucent but not browned.
-
Add water, potatoes, salt, and bay leaves to the pot. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender. This forms the flavorful base of the puree.
-
Transfer the roasted peppers to a covered bowl. Once they’re cool enough to handle, remove their skins and add the peppers to the pot.
-
Remove the bay leaves from the pot once the potatoes are tender. They’ve infused the soup with their aromatic flavor.
-
Puree the soup in batches until smooth and thick. A blender works best for achieving the desired consistency.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preferences.
-
Reheat the puree gently, if necessary, before serving. This ensures it’s served at the perfect temperature.
-
Serve the puree topped with Parmesan cheese for an extra burst of flavor and richness.
-
Enjoy your Italian Yellow Pepper Puree! This dish pairs beautifully with toasted bread spread with Parsley Pesto for a complete and satisfying meal experience.
