Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the yellow bell peppers and onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute.

  3. 3

    Add Bell Peppers

    Add the chopped yellow bell peppers to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.

  4. 4

    Simmer with Broth

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add cumin powder. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 15-20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend less.

  6. 6

    Season the Soup

    Add salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the fresh cilantro just before serving.
