Almost Raw Roasted Red Pepper Soup

During the cold winter months we all crave something warm and hearty.  One of my favourites is a roasted red pepper soup that you can whip up in no time.  Excellent on those busy days!

Cut peppers into quarters, deseed and place on a baking sheet. Broil skin side up until skin is charred. Keep our eye on them for it doesn’t take long to get to this point.

Place in a covered bowl and allow the skins to soften. Peel and set aside

Add all ingredients except for olive oil in vitamix and blend on high till warm to touch. If not using a vitamix, blend until smooth, pour soup into a pot and warm on stove top until warm to touch.

Pour into your favorite warmed soup bowls, top with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of nutritional yeast and some fresh cracked black pepper.

For added goodness sprinkle a few pepitas (pumpkin seeds) or pine nuts on top. Keep rawk’n it out in your kitchen!
