Directions
1. Throw all ingredients (except last 1/2 cup of red peppers) in a high-speed blender and blend up 'til nice and smooth and well mixed. You can let this raw red bell pepper soup recipe blend in the Vitamix or Blendtec blender for a little extra time so that the heat of the blades and the friction actually warm up this delicious, creamy raw red bell pepper soup recipe.
2. Transfer raw red pepper soup to a bowl. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of diced red peppers and mix gently with a spoon.
3. Garnish with whatever you like! I simply sprinkled my soup with some dried basil. Eat immediately.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
Big thanks to Julie K and her comment on my raw tomato soup recipe for inspiring me to modify one of my existing raw soup recipes to come up with this super creamy raw red bell pepper soup! This recipe is super simple and requires only a blender to make.
It's also very quick to pull together if you have two red peppers in the fridge, as well as some cashews in the cupboard.
By the way, red bell peppers are sweet. So do not use green bell peppers for this recipe!
This raw red pepper soup recipe makes a nice big bowl for one person. :)

I added some smoked paprika whilst blending the ingredients and it gave the soup extra 'warmth' and went well with the sweet pepper taste. You may like to give it a try.

Also, if the fam liked this one you could also try the tomato soup and the corn soup and the celery soup. They are all based on a similar premise. And it's nice to switch it up a bit

First I would like to say I love your website, 5 yrs ago I went raw for 16 weeks just eating fruits and lots of salads. The enamel on my teeth grew thin from all the fruits, wish I had found your site then.
I am now raw for 1 week and I am never going back!
This soup was amazing, filling, satisfying, easy to prepare and YUMMY!
Thank You for all your Work!!

When you say 1/3 cup of cashews do you mean chopped or whole, because whole would be a lot less than the chopped

Hi Happy, this recipe is pretty forgiving so either would probably be fine, but I'd say go with chopped

Would it be ok to roast the pepper to make it more flavorsome
The Rawtarian
Mar 24, 2013

Hi Adam, using roasted red pepper would no longer be raw, but if you are okay with that then I presume it would turn out okay. It is very flavorful on its own though, and in my opinion roasted is not necessary.

This is absolutely delish!!! For an intense flavor, put roughly chopped pepper in the dehydrator for several hours before blending. It's like roasted red bell pepper soup!

Hey, I love your website! Always looking for simple ways to make my food, I spend way too much time thinking about what I'm going to eat!
By the way, I noticed that a lot of raw food recipies include cashews but I've found that they are very difficult to find raw. Where do you get you cashews from? Do you soak them?
Thanks!
The Rawtarian
Feb 20, 2013

Hi Jessica, I look for untoasted unsalted, which are easy to find. There is some controversy about whether they have been heated - as some cashews labeled "raw" may not actually even be raw. But unsalted untoasted is a good place to start
Eve

I was wondering if any of the raw soups can be heated once blended if the blender doesn't heat it up enough. I'm new to the "rawtarian" way and have cut out meats (still have mild cravings!! -_-) but now looking for new and exciting dishes to make, so thank you for this site! Its been extremely helpful!

Hi Eva, you can let it blend for a long time to take the cold edge off - also you can reheat in your dehydrator or some people might warm on low in a pot

Yum! Thanks for the recipe!!! My husband and my meat-eating mother in law loved it too :) I just need to convince my 2 year old... By the way, my husband would like the (soaked, raw) cashews more blended so it is smoother. Is this b/c of my low quality blender? Would a higher quality blender like Vitamix work?
The Rawtarian
Feb 17, 2013

Hi Tanya, yes, a better blender would definitely do the trick. But if it's not possible to upgrade blenders, you are correct - soaking for an hour or two in warm water will help to soften the cashew and make them blender better. Also, perhaps you needed to let it blend more as well

A stick type, hand-held blender also works quite well for blending things a little finer than your average counter top blender, and they're quite affordable too. I used one to make this recipe and it came out smooth.

Hi there, I've been toying with the idea of going doing a 30 day raw challenge for myself (to be fair, my 30 day vegetarian challenge converted me full time veg a year ago), and was doing my research. I came across your page, and am considerably more excited about going raw now! Everything looks and sounds delicious and easy...and that there's a raw ranch dressing makes it that much easier (as does your app).
Thank you so much!

Hi Thomas, great to hear from you! I have a group 30-day raw challenge starting in The Rawtarian's Kitchen on March 4th if you're interested in joining us :) email me if you want details lj@therawtarian.com. But if you are a more independent sort then you can definitely do it on your own too. I started out that way, as you probably did too! Glad to have you here and glad you are enjoying the app. It is handy!

Thank you for this delicious recipe! It's like a creamy gourmet soup with cream - but there is no cream! Perfect blend of flavors. I was raving to my husband about it and he was so happy for me.

Hi Laura Jane. I tried to make this from memory and I mistakenly put in too many cashews. So after verifying your recipe, I added more water (¾ cup cashews and just over 1 cup of water). I only had 2 peppers so I used them both. I added a clove of garlic, a bit of hot sauce, and some pepper along with the salt.
I thought it tasted really nice, but I didn't like too much the diced peppers in the soup, and so I ended up blending them all in. Overall, it was smooth and very tasty. I really enjoyed it. Thanks :)
