Directions: |
Directions:Heat oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell peppers and chili to taste. Cook and stir until the vegetables release some of their juices and the onion is lightly brown around the edges, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle the vegetables with paprika, salt and cardamom and cook, stirring, until the spices are very fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add pistachios and broth (or water). Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the heat; let cool 5 minutes.
Transfer the soup to a blender (in batches if necessary) and puree until smooth. (Use caution when pureeing hot liquids.) Return the soup to the pan.
Whisk buttermilk and cream in a bowl; stir into the soup. Gently warm over low heat. Do not boil Serve sprinkled with cilantro (or basil). |
