Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 1 kg mixed peppers
  • 2 large onions, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 liter vegetable broth
  • 1 cup crème fraîche
  • some olive oil, for frying
  • salt and pepper
  • Balsamic vinegar

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

Fast and uncomplicated

Dice the peeled bell peppers (equal parts red, green, and yellow), dice the onions, and sauté everything together in olive oil in a pan for about 5 minutes. Add a little salt to the vegetables. Then deglaze with vegetable stock, add the garlic (if you fry it too, you risk it becoming bitter), and simmer the soup with the lid on for 20-30 minutes. Once everything is soft, stir in the crème fraîche and purée the soup with an immersion blender. Return to the heat and season with salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar. The balsamic vinegar adds a wonderful flavor to the sweetness of the bell peppers. Serve with homemade ciabatta, and your guests will melt!
