This recipe for roasted red bell pepper and potato soup with spices is a soup that will make you feel loved, nourished and happy. It is so good and easy to prepare.
One of the things that I get asked the most is that if I don’t miss eating “normal” when they find out that I follow a plant-based diet. The truth is that no because for me, the normal way of eating is the way I eat. I like to eat deliciously, I like to eat healthily, I love to feed my family healthy and clean food.
I know that what they mean is that if I don’t miss cheese or other animal products … the truth is, NO. Many people believe that when you take animal products off your diet, your food options reduce, you start to eat poorly, or you go on a diet. The truth is that it is all the other way around. The flavors, ingredients, and food combinations that we start tasting grow exponentially.
When you decide to include more and more fruits, vegetables, legumes, and cereals into your diet, gradually, you begin to discover more options. You discover some ingredients with exciting flavors, textures, new ways of eating them, preparing them, and highlight their flavors with aromatics or spicies. And listen, spices make everything taste delicious, right? And they have a ton of benefits to our health. Think of pepper, cinnamon, turmeric, etc.
This roasted red bell pepper and potato soup has cumin, which for example, helps the pancreas to produce the enzymes necessary for proper digestion and absorption of nutrients. It is also full of magnesium, manganese, and calcium.
The recipe also calls for dried red chili pepper, and chilies are full of vitamin C, to mention one of the many benefits they have.
So yes, this is how I like to eat: meals full of flavor, ingredients with bright colors, and I also like to try new things. I love to cook with herbs and species and always try the ones they use in other country’s cuisines. This potato and pepper soup has some spices, and they take it up a notch.
Tips, tricks & other recipes:
- A good idea when preparing soup is to start with very little liquid, just enough to cover the vegetables. If needed add more.
- Probably with this vegan potato soup you’ll need more liquid than usual because of all the starch of the potatoes.
