This soup has accompanied me for years. I discovered this classic dish through Aharoni’s book – “Italian Cooking,” one of the Israeli assets of culinary literature.
Like any traditional recipe, this dish also has several versions:
- Some enrich it with carrots, celery, and herbs like sage.
- Some prefer to roast the peppers in the oven.
- Some insist on straining it through a colander.
A minimum of ingredients and intervention emphasize the unique taste of the yellow peppers that characterize the dish.
From experience, there is no need to bother passing the cooked soup through a sieve; A rod blender does a great job: grind the soup while in the pot, transfer to a bowl, a few toppings for garnish, and Bon Appetite!
Everybody falls in love with this soup; almost everyone asks for a second, despite the clarifications that are more dishes to take into account. A perfect dish for entertaining as for a daily family meal.
Enjoy, and let me know how it turned out. ❤️
