Tomato and Red Pepper Soup

Recipe Description

This easy and exciting Tomato and Red Pepper Soup recipe relies on simple ingredients, such as ripe tomatoes, sweet onions, garlic, roasted red bell peppers, vegetable stock, and olive oil. I love icy tomato soup and roasted tomato soup. These easy recipes have been on regular rotation at our house this summer because they use seasonal produce and are a hit at our table. But I’m currently in love with this tomato and roasted pepper soup. It’s a little smoky, creamy, flavorful, and ready in a mere 30 minutes.

For this delicious one-pot soup recipe, I’m using onions and garlic to begin the flavoring process. Heat the olive oil in a large pot and add the onions, garlic, and a large pinch of salt. Cook until tender. Add in the tomatoes, roasted peppers, and vegetable stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Transfer the soup to a blender. Purée the ingredients until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Ladle into bowls and serve immediately. Simple and amazing. The recipe is vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. Enjoy!

To make the Tomato and Red Pepper Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
