Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup
I am a big tomato soup fan, but I’m an even bigger Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup fan. The combination of the sweet and smoky jarred roasted peppers and the slightly spicy fire-roasted tomatoes is out of this world AMAZING. (Sorry-not-sorry, tomato soup, but you’ve been upgraded!) This recipe serves four, but it can easily be doubled or tripled. I like to top off each bowl of soup with crumbled feta, croutons, and fresh parsley. The feta cheese adds a nice tang to the soup, and the croutons add some needed crunch. The parsley gives each bite a fresh herby flavor, and the green really pops against the red puree. Rich, comforting and full of flavor, this soup has a super silky, rich texture that will warm you up from the inside out. Perfect for those cold months when you crave filling and satisfying comfort food.
What Makes This Soup So Good
The red peppers and fire roasted tomatoes add so much flavor to this soup. The fire roasted tomatoes give the soup a hint of smokiness that’s balanced well with their sweetness. During the summer I plan to make this with fresh tomatoes and peppers that I roast myself. This would be a great way to use up extra tomatoes in the summer. This Creamy Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup only takes 30 minutes to prepare. Most of the ingredients you’ll already have in your pantry. I like serving this soup with grilled cheese or a side salad to make it a full meal. Although I have been known to just have soup for dinner.
ingredients
Fire-roasted tomatoes: I like to use fire roasted tomatoes over regular canned diced tomatoes because they have so much more flavor! The tomatoes are roasted before they are canned giving them a hint of smokiness. Roasted red peppers: Add a hint of sweetness to the soup and flavor! Fresh Garlic and Onion: Add so much fragrant flavor to the soup! Chicken broth: Along with the tomatoes is the base of the soup. You can use vegetable broth if you prefer to keep this recipe vegetarian. Seasonings: I use a bunch of dried seasonings in this soup like paprika, red pepper flakes and dried oregano. If you have fresh herbs they would be amazing in this soup! Heavy cream: Adds creaminess to the soup! You can add half and half if you don’t have heavy cream on hand.
How To Make roasted red pepper tomato soup

Tips and Variations
If time allows, let your heavy cream come to room temperature before adding it to the soup. Cold cream can sometimes break apart when added to something hot. Add more veggies! Since this roasted red pepper and tomato soup is pureed, you can amp up the veggies easily without anyone being the wiser. Carrots and celery are great additions! Only puree half of this soup for a more rustic texture. Or skip the pureeing altogether, if desired! Use more fresh herbs like basil, thyme, or rosemary! Change up the cheese! Crumbled goat cheese, shredded mozzarella, or grated parmesan would also be delicious. Use your own roasted tomatoes and roasted peppers. I always have tons of fresh tomatoes and peppers in the summer and this is a great way to use them up!
