Ingredients

  • 796 mL San marzano tomatoes canned, whole
  • 2 Red bell peppers
  • 1 Yellow onion roughly diced
  • 5 cloves Garlic peeled and smashed
  • 1 cup Chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Red chilli flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1 ½ tablespoon Granulated sugar or to taste
  • 1 cup Feta cheese crumbled
  • ¼ cup Heavy cream optional
  • Sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Add the red bell peppers to an air fryer basket, and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Air fry for 20 minutes at 390°F.
    2 Red bell peppers
  • While the peppers are air frying, heat a large pot over medium heat, with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Sauté the onions and garlic until the onions are translucent and tender.
    1 Yellow onion, 5 cloves Garlic
  • Once the peppers are charred, carefully remove them from the air fryer basket and let them cool to touch. Remove the charred skin with a paper towel, and remove the seeds and membrane from the peppers.
  • Add the canned tomatoes, roasted red peppers, chicken broth and spices to the pot, and simmer for 5 minutes.

  • Transfer the soup to a blender container, and add the feta cheese, and heavy cream is adding it. Blend until smooth.
    1 cup Feta cheese, ¼ cup Heavy cream
  • Taste the soup for salt, and season to taste. Transfer the soup back to the pot to heat for 2-3 minutes, and serve!

Notes

  • If you do not have a blender: You can also use an immersion blender, which is stick blender, that will do the blending in the pot.
  • An alternative to the air fryer: Bell peppers can also be charred over a gas flame, or in the oven on the highest broil setting.
  • To peel bell peppers easily: Transfer the charred peppers to a bowl covered with plastic wrap, or put the charred peppers in a paper bag. This will allow the steam to separate the skin from the flesh of the pepper, making peeling a breeze!
