Daylight Saving has hit which means it gets darn early, this Roasted Bell Pepper & Tomato Soup is perfect for those dark chilly nights.
There is no such thing as too many Tomato Soup Recipes, and this Roasted Bell Pepper and Tomato Soup is the perfect example of that. You never know what happens to a simple tomato soup when you add roasted bell peppers, but it’s a delicious additions. The roasted bell peppers add another layer to the tomatoes without over powering them, they almost add the perfect touch. Of course I made grill cheeses to go with the soup mainly because I always know the kids will always devour it.
Like most soups this Roasted Bell Pepper and Tomato Soup comes in a traditional soup order. Start with your veggies and butter and sauté in a large stock pot for a few minutes until they are browned. Then add flour and make sure all the veggies are covered. Next add all the liquids, broth, tomatoes, paste, maple syrup and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat and allow the soup to cook at medium heat for at least 15 minutes. Next step is to add your immersion blender and blend up. You can make it as thick or thin as you like your soup, totally up to you. Last you need add the coconut milk and allow to come together for a few minutes. Now you are ready to serve with any type of topping!! Enjoy
Do I buy or make these Roasted Bell Peppers?
Great questions! Roasted Bell Peppers are usually found in a glass jar in either the pasta sauce aisle or in the canned veggies aisle. You have most likely walked past it a million times while shopping. There are also loads of recipe on the internet that show how you can make your own roasted bell peppers at home. Essentially you slice your bell peppers and place them open side down on a baking sheet and bake until soft.Can I freeze this soup?
Yes, this is a great soup to freeze for a later time. Just make sure you cool the soup completely before you freeze it. I prefer using Souper Cubes to freeze liquids which make it easier to store and reheat at a later time.
You don’t always want grill cheese with your tomato soup, so we have a few different option to try:
