Whether you enjoy this soup as the first course of a delicious Italian meal or with grilled cheese for a comforting lunch, it’s sure to be a delight. Roasted red pepper and tomato soup is creamy yet healthy and vegan, and like most soups, it’s pretty easy to make. The secret to the intense flavor of this dish is roasting the fresh tomatoes and bell peppers yourself, but if you find yourself short on time, you can substitute canned versions.

To complete this meal, slice up some fresh ciabatta bread or focaccia, grill it, and serve it alongside the bowl for dipping while you enjoy the soup. I love when winter comes and I can make these delicious, healthy soups that warm the house and the heart … and they are so easy to prepare for just a few people or for even a crowd.
