Provincial Red Pepper soup
Blended Red pepper, potato, tomato and spices with just enough coconut milk to give it that creamy taste. The spices gave it an unexpected smokiness and incredible flavor to the soup. The color was vibrant and inviting. I topped it with a dollop of coconut yogurt, pepito seeds and aleppo pepper!

Ingredients
- 1 Joico or red bell pepper
- 3 Medium gold potatoes
- 1 Heirloom tomato I used a yellow one
- 2 TSP Herb De Province
- 1 TSP Garlic powder
- 1/8 TSP Nutmeg
- 1/2 TSP Smoked paprika
- 1/2 TSP Calabrian chili flakes Red Pepper Flakes will work

- Water I use just enough water to cover the vegetables when I cook them and add water to thin the soup to the desired consistency.
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove the seeds and dice the pepper into 1" chunks
- Peel and dice the potatoes into 1" pieces
- Peel the tomato and slice into quarters

- Add seasonings and vinegar
- Pour one cup of plant milk into the blender and add your vegetables from the sauce pan.
- Blend on low one minute then high until creamy. About 5 minutes
- Pour back into sauce pan and simmer until warmed through. Adjust any seasonings to your taste. Add water to thin to the desired consistency.
- Dish into soup bowls. Add a dollop of unsweetened coconut yogurt if desired. Garnish with pepito seeds, aleppo pepper or croutons.
Notes
This is a Snap Pea Sheep recipe
This is a fast version of the recipe. Roasting the peppers, tomato and 3 fresh garlic cloves ahead of time would develop the flavor. Use the fresh garlic instead of garlic powder.
You may also use a peeled potato that you baked along with the other vegetables.
You can substitute an orange or yellow pepper for the red pepper.
A dollop of no-cheese sauce can be used instead of the coconut yogurt or the yogurt can be omitted entirely.
