Roasted Red Pepper Soup: 4 Ingredients & Just Veggies :)

I have no credit for this recipe. My boyfriend made it & I’m obsessed!

Why?! This soup is…

• made with JUST VEGGIES 🙂
• only requires 4 ingredients.
• has a natural beautiful red/orange color
• absolutely delicious.

The peppers he used are from his balcony garden. I have never tasted a more flavorful pepper than these ones. If you like growing vegetables I highly recommend growing your own red bell peppers. I hope you can taste the difference as well!

He also used a few hot lemon peppers from his garden. These peppers are spicy & great for sauces & soups. You can add these if you have them & like more spice. If you chose to use these chop them & add to the baking sheet along with the tomatoes, onion & shallot.

Another thing that I’ve noticed in all soups is that roasting your veggies makes a huge difference. Pumpkin, broccoli, cauliflower… roasting all these veggies before turning them into soup really takes the taste to the next level.

For this recipe you will 1) Roast your bell peppers 2) Steam them in a paper bag & 3) Peel off the skin after roasting.

Let’s get to the recipe!
