Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Red bell peppers
- 6 medium Roma tomatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 4 whole Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Cut the red bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and stems.
Cut the Roma tomatoes in half and remove any tough stems.
Peel and quarter the yellow onion.
Place the red bell peppers (cut side down), Roma tomatoes, yellow onion, and garlic cloves on a large baking sheet.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables and toss lightly to coat. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the red bell peppers have charred skin and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the vegetables from the oven and let them cool slightly. Peel the charred skin off the red bell peppers and discard.
In a large pot, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the roasted vegetables to the pot, along with the vegetable broth, fresh basil leaves, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Using an immersion blender or a high-speed countertop blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy.
If desired, stir in the heavy cream for added richness.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper as needed.
Serve hot with a drizzle of olive oil, a few fresh basil leaves, or crusty bread on the side.
