Description

A rich and smoky roasted tomato and capsicum (bell pepper) soup that is naturally creamy and full of vibrant flavors. Perfectly roasted to bring out sweetness and depth, this Mediterranean-inspired vegan and gluten-free soup is ideal for warming up and dipping with crusty bread.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 4 tomatoes, halved
  • 2 red capsicums (bell peppers), halved
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic

Liquids and Oils

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cups vegetable broth

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Paprika, to taste

Instructions

  1. Roast the vegetables: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the halved tomatoes, halved red capsicums, quartered onion, and whole garlic cloves on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and roast for 25 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, enhancing their smoky flavors.
  2. Prepare the soup base: Carefully transfer the roasted vegetables, including garlic, into a large pot. Add 4 cups of vegetable broth along with salt, black pepper, and paprika to season. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  3. Blend until smooth: Using an immersion blender directly in the pot or transferring the soup in batches to a countertop blender, blend the soup until it reaches a creamy and smooth consistency. Be cautious of hot liquid when blending.
  4. Serve and garnish: Pour the soup into bowls and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs such as basil or parsley, or crispy croutons for added texture. For extra richness, add a swirl of cream or coconut milk if desired.

Notes

  • Add cream or coconut milk for added richness and creaminess.
  • This soup is freezer-friendly; store in airtight containers and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper during simmering.
  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes and firm capsicums for best flavor and texture.
