​​​​​​​​​​​​Recipe courtesy of Ben Wozny

INGREDIENTS

• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup diced sweet onion
• 1 carrot, diced
• 1 shallot, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon minced ginger
• 1-1/2 tablespoons curry powder
• 2 teaspoons turmeric
• 1 teaspoon coriander
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 (14-oz) can unsweetened coconut milk

​​PREPARATION

• Roast peppers on grill, turning until skins are blistered and blackened. Place the peppers in a paper bag to cool for about 15 minutes. Remove blackened skins and remove stems and seeds. Dice peppers and set aside.
• In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil, onion, carrot, and shallot. Cook for 5 minutes, until softened. 
• Stir in garlic, ginger, curry powder, turmeric, coriander and salt. Cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
• Add diced roasted peppers and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the coconut milk. Use an immersion blender and puree until smooth.

This creamy, fragrant soup is inspired by The Mandalorian. The clan-based Mandalorians are bound by Creed and code, and as a rite of passage each foundling must drink pog soup.

This is a favorite of Ben's to make... It's a take on a roasted pepper curry coconut soup and is simply delicous. Serve with fresh warm bread to soak up every drop. 

This is the Way. To make soup.
