I absolutely enjoyed making this roasted red pepper, tomato, carrot bisque. One of my favorite things to do is go to Crispers, order a bowl of Tomato bisque and ceasar salad, and enjoy some time to work on projects or delve into a good book.

What kept happening, though, is they either wouldn’t have my favorite soup or it just gets too busy, and I mean, it is also kind of expensive.

So, I decided to make my own bisque and knocked it up a few with the addition of red peppers and carrots, plus all the other roasted veggies.

This tomato and red pepper soup could easily be made on the stove-top without the roasting step, but I love the flavors that roasting gives. Especially with garlic and peppers.

Plus, it’s super easy and the prep is minimal.

Roast vegetables and Puree

Place all the vegetables on a baking sheet and toss with olive oil. Roast in a preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until tender.

After they have finished roasting, remove garlic and onion from skin and place in a pot with the other roasted vegetables. Add in the broth, chili powder, italian seasoning, and canned stewed tomatoes.

I used an immersion blender, but a food processor or blender would work as well. I also prefer a very smooth soup, so feel free to pour this through a sive to rid the larger pieces.

Once pureed and smooth, add in sugar and salt to taste. Allow to simmer for 10-20 minutes so all those flavors can meld together. Before serving, add in the cream.

Personally, I like to heat the cream on the side and add a spoonful to the bowl with a little Parmesan and croutons or toasty bread.

While this batch makes about 3 bowls, 1 1/2 cups each, you could easily double the recipe for a larger batch.

Enjoy this smooth and creamy roasted tomato, carrot, and red pepper vegetable soup with some crusty bread or croutons and a side salad.

Ingredients

  • 1 med-lg red pepper, cut in half and seeded

  • 4 roma tomatoes, cut in half

  • 1/2 bag baby carrots

  • 1 medium sweet onion, cut into quarters

  • 4 garlic cloves, left in skin

  • 16 oz vegetable broth

  • 1 can stewed tomatoes

  • 2-3 oz heavy cream

  • 2 tsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 2 tsp granulated sugar

  • salt to taste

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a large sheet pan with foil or parchment paper.
  • Place carrots, onions, garlic, tomatoes, and red peppers on sheet. Drizzle olive oil and toss to coat. Roast vegetables for about 25 minutes, or until tender.
  • After roasting, add vegetables to a pot and squeeze garlic from the skin. Also add in the can of stewed tomatoes. Add in veggie broth and seasonings. Use an immersion blender and blend until smooth.
  • If you want a smoother soup, pour through a mesh sive to eliminate the larger pieces. Do this in batches.
  • Bring soup to a simmer. Add sugar and salt.
  • Serve with a spoonful of warm cream, or you can add the cream into the pot. Top with a little Parmesan, herbs, and toasty bread.

Notes

  • When roasting the vegetables, little prep is needed. Keep the onions and garlic in the skin, half the peppers and tomatoes, and no need to cut the carrots.
  • Salt will be needed but use at your own discretion.
