Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 28 oz can diced tomatoes (and their juices)
  • 1 5.5 oz can tomato paste
  • 2 cups chicken bone broth to make vegan, use a vegetable stock
  • 3 vine tomatoes (quartered and seeded)
  • 1 small onion (peeled and quartered)
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 potato (peeled and halved)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp fresh dill
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350. Place chopped red peppers, tomatoes and onion on a baking sheet along with the garlic cloves. Toss with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 40 minutes.
  • While veggies are in the oven, add diced tomatoes and their juices, tomato paste, broth, potato, dill, basil, red pepper flakes and additional salt and pepper to a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until the veggies in the oven are done.
  • When veggies in the oven are done, add them to the pot on the stove. Continue to simmer until the potato halves are fork tender.
  • Remove pot from heat and use an immersion stick blender to blend the soup. You can also use a blender or food processor, but you will need to cool the soup down first.
  • Adjust seasonings if desired. Serve hot

Notes

This was my first time making this soup. We both enjoyed this recipe, but there are a few things I might play around with. I found the soup a little thicker than I would have wanted it to be. I will either add more bone broth next time, or add a can of coconut milk for an even creamier texture.
The flavour was great, but it was more tomato than red pepper. I will either add an extra red pepper next time or do less tomato.
There were different variations on roasting the veggies for the soup. One variation was to set the oven to broil and roast the veggies for 10 minutes. This may bring out more of a roasted red pepper flavour, so it’s also something to think about for next time.
This recipe serves 4. When you’re as obsessed with soup as I am, 4 servings is never enough. We were done this pot of soup by the next day. So I would at least double this recipe the next time I make it.
