TOMATO and RED PEPPER SOUP

INGREDIENTS:
5-6 beefsteak tomatoes, quartered
2 red bell peppers, quartered
1 large yellow onion, quartered
1-2 garlic heads, stem cut off
(I added one carrot but recipe didn’t call for it. It should sweeten the soup a bit)
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup heavy cream or whole milk for a lower-fat option
1-2 tsp salt or to taste
2-3 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
Fresh basil, parsley, or thyme for garnish
Chili oil drizzle (optional)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Cut up your veggies; cut stems off garlic and place on lined baking sheet; coat with oil; salt and pepper to taste.

Bake 35-40 minutes or until veggies have browned and softened;

In large pot or Dutch oven, add vegetable broth over medium heat; once warmed through, turn off burner and add your vegetables and garlic; use immersion blender and blend to your desired consistency;

***A regular blender works great for the step above if you don’t have an immersion blender. ***

Taste test…Add salt and pepper to your liking; add a teaspoon or so of sugar to balance acidity if desired;

Stir in heavy cream;

Serve and top with fresh basil, thyme, or parsley; add drizzle of heavy cream; chili oil would be amazing too! Pair with grilled cheese or your favorite toasted bread 🥰❤️
