This time of year there is nothing more comforting than a hot pot of soup. This Roasted Red Pepper Soup is one of our kids favourites and it comes together effortlessly. (Though to be honest- we call it "Red Soup" at home, since my boys (Jean) were tiny they don't like to think about vegetables, lol.) Dress it up with chilli oil and cilantro for a grown-up flavour or just serve with salty Saltine crackers for the kiddos. Yum.
Roasted Red Pepper Soup
Ingredients:
2 red peppers
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 small onions
6 cloves garlic
6 cups veggie broth (or the broth of your choice)
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
2 cans 796 mL whole tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste
Cut the peppers in half and de-seed. In the top rack of your oven, broil the red peppers, cut side down, until they begin to blackened.
In a big pot heat the oil on medium high heat and saute the onion until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic to the pot and saute until fragrant, about a minute.
Add the veggie broth, tomatoes, roasted pepper, basil and salt and pepper.
Bring the pot to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmering boil. Cook for 20 minutes.
Using a blender, blend soup until smooth. Enjoy!
