Filled with delicious late-summer flavours this roasted red pepper and tomato soup is served with a dollop of dairy-free cream or yoghurt and some freshly chopped basil. Smoked paprika adds just the right amount of sweet and peppery taste.
This soup is made with simple storecupboard ingredients and fresh tomatoes and red peppers. This is a perfect recipe at this time of the year when the weather starts getting cold but you still want to enjoy a taste of juicy summer produce.
How to make this roasted red pepper and tomato soup?
Instead of being cooked in a pan, the tomatoes and red peppers are roasted in the oven. Like in my roasted tomato soup roasting vegetables first enhances their flavours. I added a red onion and plenty of garlic cloves (with their outer skin on. You can easily remove the inside of the garlic cloves once roasted and discard the outer skin).
When roasting the tomatoes and red peppers will generate some wonderful cooking juices. Make sure you use every single drop!
When the vegetables are cooked, you can either transfer them to a large saucepan or to a blender and whizz them together with the rest of the ingredients. Personally, I find it easier to blend the soup in a saucepan using a handheld blender. It gives me a bit more control over how much vegetable stock to use to get my desired consistency.
I like to use sundried tomato paste but plain tomato paste works just as well.
