Super Rich and Creamy Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup. A simple weeknight meal that takes but half-hour to form.

This recipe serves two but can easily be doubled. I prefer to refill each bowl of soup with crumbled feta, croutons and fresh parsley. The feta cheese adds a pleasant tang to the soup.

Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup

The red peppers and fire roasted tomatoes add such a lot flavor to the present soup. The hearth roasted tomatoes give the soup a touch of smokiness.

During the summer I decide to make this with fresh tomatoes and peppers that I roast myself. This is able to be an excellent thanks to spend extra tomatoes within the summer.
