Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Cut the top and base from each of the yellow peppers, remove the seeds and then cut into thin strips. Cut the leeks into strips the same size as the peppers. Place the leeks and peppers in a roasting dish and sprinkle with the garlic. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the top, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and place in a medium oven for 40-45 minutes until nicely roasted and soft.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large casserole or saucepan and saute the onion and celery for 5 minutes until softened but not browned. Add the potatoes and carrot and cook for 3-4 minutes more. Add the leeks and most of the peppers (reserve a few for garnish), the broth, thyme and bay leaf and simmer for 30 minutes or so until the potatoes are nice and soft.
  3. Place the soup in a blender, and whiz until smooth. Adjust the seasoning (adding a good grind of black pepper) and serve in bowls, garnished with a little of the reserved roasted peppers and a drizzle of olive oil.
