This Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup is brimming with the rich flavors of roasted produce. You'll love the luxurious deep flavors as much as knowing how healthy it is!
My daughter is playing with her Veggietaless book as I try to type up this Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup recipe. It is one of those endearing books that sings a song every time she opens it. After hearing it blast, "GOD IS BIGGER THAN THE BOOGGGYMANN" for the millionth time, I've begun to fantasize that this soup is actually made up of the VeggieTales characters.
Did that just get creepy?
I think any parent can likely sympathize. Every kid has that one toy that just drives you bonkers.
Regardless if you are making this soup to symbolically dispense of cartoon vegetable characters, or you just want to make lunch, this Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup won't disappoint. The flavors are phenomenal!
The roasted red pepper really comes through in each bite, and it is nicely accented by bit of smoked paprika. Roasted carrots and tomatoes add a bit of sweetness, while potatoes and onion add body. This is a really well-rounded soup, and there isn't a single ingredient you need to feel bad about adding. Flavorful and healthy! What could be wrong with that?
You can blend this soup in batches if needed, however if you have a big enough blender you can easily puree it in one batch. I use the KitchenAid 60-oz Blender and don't have any issues.
