Potato, roasted red bell pepper, and delicious spices make this vegan soup perfect for a cozy everyday meal. It is so flavorful, easy to prepare, and healthy that I'm sure it will become one of your favorite soups.
Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot and add the onion. Let it brown for 3-5 minutes. Add the spices and brown them for 30 seconds to a minute, or until they start to smell delicious. Add the salt.
Put the rest of the ingredients and the water or vegetable broth in the pot, cover, and cook until the potatoes are soft.
Blend the vegetables and water until you have a creamy consistency. Test for seasoning and adjust if needed. Add more liquid if it's too thick.
Serve with lemon juice and mint or fresh cilantro leaves.
Notes
How to store:To store leftover soup, let it cool to room temperature, then transfer it to airtight containers. Refrigerate for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. When reheating, warm it on the stove or microwave until it reaches a safe eating temperature. Add extra liquid if it has thickened too much.
