Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Peel off and discard charred skin from peppers. Finely chop peppers; add to potato mixture. Cool slightly. In a blender, cover and process soup in batches until smooth. Return to the pan; heat through (do not boil). Serve with parmesan cheese, if desired.
