- 1 medium sweet onion
- 4-5 cloves roasted garlic roasted, so it isn't as strong but very flavourful.
- 6-8 sweet peppers lots of colour options!
- 3 cups veggie stock
- 1 cup corn - smoked if you have it! optional but adds great texture and flavour. You can use regular niblet corn and add some smoky paprika.
- 1 Tablespoon potato starch dissolved in 2 Tablespoons of cold water
- salt and pepper to taste
- chopped chives to sprinkle on top
- Cashew Crumbles to sprinkle on top
Ingredients
|
|
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Roughly chop the onions and half the peppers. On a large, oiled baking sheet, toss the chopped veggies and the unwrapped cloves of garlic with a little oil. These need to cook until they look roasty. (The garlic probably won't take as long. Make sure you take out the cloves when they are soft and not browned. They should not be overcooked or they will be bitter. Let the cloves cool a little and then just squeeze out the soft garlic centers.) )
- When the peppers are cooked, let cool a moment and remove any skin that peels off easily. Leaving some on is not a problem.
- Combine your roasted veggies, veggie stock, squeezed garlic, potato starch dissolved in water, and seasonings to taste in a blender and process until thickened and smooth. If you want it thinner, you can add more veggie broth or some unsweetened plant milk.
- Remove from blender. If you are making the corn version, now is the time to stir it in.
- Pour into a saucepan and heat just before serving.
- To serve, you can sprinkle with Cashew Crumbles and/or some chopped chives. Some fresh bread or crackers would be great, too! Enjoy!
