Ingredients:
- 3 red peppers, seeded and chopped
- 1 can of coconut cream
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 cups of vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Begin by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onions are translucent.
- Add the chopped red peppers to the pot, along with the cumin and paprika. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the red peppers have slightly softened.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the red peppers are completely soft.
