Smooth tomato soup get a rich addition of roasted red peppers and holds its place as an easy weeknight recipe that takes little time to create.
By Kelley Simmons
I am a big tomato soup fan. I’m an even bigger Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup fan. The combination of the sweet and smoky peppers and the slightly spicy fire roasted tomatoes is out of this world AMAZING. Sorry tomato soup you’ve just been upgraded. 
This recipe serves two but can easily be doubled. I like to top off each bowl of soup with crumbled feta, croutons and fresh parsley.
The red peppers and fire roasted tomatoes add so much flavor to this soup. The fire roasted tomatoes give the soup a hint of smokiness.
During the summer I plan to make this with fresh tomatoes and peppers that I roast myself.
