Quick Summary

Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Soup-this simple, warming, and delicious soup makes a great meal and it freezes well too! 

Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Soup.

I am always freezing and always trying to find ways to keep warm. During the cold and snowy winter months, I wear layers, drink hot herbal tea, take hot baths, turn on the fireplace, and hide under blankets. My boys always make fun of me because they are always hot and I am freezing. I have to show them my goosebumps so they will believe me:)

I have also been making a lot of soup to try and stay warm. I made this easy Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Soup this week and it sure hit the spot!

This is one of my favorite soups because it takes less than 30 minutes to make and I always have the ingredients on hand. The soup is filling, satisfying, and will warm you up!

Tomato soup has always been one of my favorites, but I like this recipe even better because the roasted red peppers add an intense flavor.

I also stir in a little almond milk at the end to make the soup super creamy. You will never know this soup is made without cream. It is so rich, creamy, and smooth!

I like to top each bowl with fresh basil and homemade croutons. You could also dip a piece of crusty bread into the soup or a grilled cheese sandwich. So many options!

And I highly recommend putting some soup in the freezer for another day. It will save you when you are craving some healthy comfort food but don’t have time to make dinner. It has saved me on numerous occasions.

There’s nothing more comforting than a bowl of this simple Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Soup. It is perfect for this time of year!

  • 1 celery rib, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 12 oz jar roasted red peppers, drained
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth

  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Dash of crushed red pepper
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and cook until soften, about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic, tomato paste, and bay leaves. Stir until the tomato paste is mixed in.

  1. This is definitely one of my favourite flavours of soup, I love it with a cheese toastie!

  2. Looks so good!  Do you think coconut milk would work, or would it change the flavor too much?  My daughter is allergic to nuts, and is trying a vegan diet right now too!  

  3. So happy you posted this today! Working from home and doing Whole 30 – had not idea what I was going to do for lunch. Didn’t have the roasted red peppers, only had diced tomatoes and added more basil. Absolutely perfect lunch with two lunches left over! Thank you so much!!

    1. Lol yeah great recipe. I love tomatoes and with some extra spices like lemon pepper and Italian seasoning it tastes great

    1. Look in by the canned vegetables in the grocery store or in the Italian section. All stores should have them. They are in a jar.

    2. You can also easily buy a red pepper(or buy an extra 1 or 2) and throw in the oven until the outer pepper turns black. Put pepper(s) in a large Ziploc bag and allow to steam(10+minutes). After they cool, take out of bag and charred pepper skin should come off. Save extra peppers for another batch of soup or different recipe.

  4. Looks lovely! Being dairy-free (because of an allergy to cow’s milk) the almond milk is a nice touch for me. Thanks 🙂

  5. Could it be made in a slow cooker and ready when I returned home.  I’m assuming it would be cooked on low and the Almond Milk be added before serving?

  6. Any suggestions for making this in the Instant Pot? I know it’s already a super quick recipe, but I love the hands off aspect of using my IP.

  7. 5 stars
    I love this recipe! I did you use unsweetened coconut milk instead of soy because that’s what I had and it tasted wonderful. I received rave reviews from my friends as well.
