- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 yellow bell peppers

Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. | In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, celery, carrot, and garlic cloves. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 10 minutes. |
| 2. | Meanwhile, bring unsalted vegetable broth to a boil in a separate pot. |
| 3. | Add chopped yellow bell peppers, diced potatoes, salt, and chipotle pepper to the boiling vegetable broth. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for an additional 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. |
| 4. | Once the vegetables are tender, carefully transfer the soup to a food processor or use an immersion blender to puree until smooth. |
| 5. | Return the pureed soup to the pot and heat gently if needed. |
| 6. | Serve the yellow pepper soup hot in bowls. Optionally, garnish each serving with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for added flavor. |
| 7. | For a lower-fat version, use fat-free parmesan cheese or omit it altogether, and skip the olive oil drizzle. |
| 8. | For a vegetarian option, ensure to use unsalted vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. |
| 9. | For a vegan-friendly version, omit the parmesan cheese or substitute it with a vegan alternative. Additionally, skip the cheese garnish and opt-out of the olive oil drizzle. |
