Instructions

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and red bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and give everything a good stir.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Transfer 3 cups (720 milliliters) of soup to a blender and blend until smooth (or use an immersion blender directly in the pot). Stir the blended soup back in and serve.

Notes

Cook uncovered for better texture: Simmer uncovered to allow liquid to evaporate, concentrating flavors and thickening the soup.
Don’t overcook the potatoes: Make sure they’re fork-tender but not mushy. Overcooking can make them fall apart.
Adjust seasoning to taste: After blending, always taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
For a thicker soup: Blend up to half of the soup for a creamier texture. The more you blend, the thicker it will get.
Let the soup sit: The soup will naturally thicken as it sits, so give it a few minutes after cooking if you prefer a heartier consistency.
