    Tomato Soup with Roasted Red Peppers - Andrea Meyers

    One of my favorite childhood lunch memories was sitting down to a bowl of hot tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich. It was simple, not fussy; canned soup and plain white sandwich bread with American cheese, but I grew up with the notion that this was the perfect lunch on a cold day.

    Though the range of soups that I crave has broadened considerably since then, I still pine for a steamy bowl of soup on frigid days like today. We also add other flavors we like: our homegrown slow-roasted tomatoes, some of the seasoned olive oil the tomatoes are stored in, and roasted red peppers. When our stash of summer peppers is gone we buy big jars of Del Destino fire roasted red peppers from Costco, which work great. Sometimes we serve it with sandwiches, sometimes salad, and always with seasoned gluten-free croutons on top.

    And as much as the soup warms the belly, it warms my heart even more to see our boys enjoying the foods I loved as a child.

    Update October 17, 2011: Thanks to Dash Recipes for featuring this soup!

    Equipment

    • 4-quart pot with heavy bottom and lid
    • immersion blender or regular blender

    Ingredients

    • 1 yellow onion (diced)
    • 3 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
    • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
    • 56 ounces canned crushed tomatoes ((2 28-ounce cans) We use 2 quarts of our homegrown crushed frozen tomatoes.)
    • 3 slow-roasted tomatoes in olive oil (+ 2 tablespoons of the seasoned olive oil)
    • 2 whole roasted red peppers (canned or fresh, drain if using canned)
    • 6 ounces canned tomato paste
    • 1 cup vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
    • ¼ cup dry red wine (optional)
    • freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
    • gluten-free seasoned croutons
    US Customary - Metric

    Preparation

    • In the large pot, sauté the onions in the olive oil until they start to glisten, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to sauté until it releases its fragrance, about 1 to 2 minutes.
    • Add the kosher salt, crushed tomatoes, slow roasted tomatoes, roasted peppers, tomato paste, and vegetable broth. Cover and bring up to a slow boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Continue cooking until the tomatoes and peppers are fully heated through, about 20 minutes. Stir in the red wine, if desired. Add more salt and black pepper to taste.
    • Use the immersion blender to puree the soup in the pot. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can puree the soup in a regular blender in 2 or 3 batches.
    • Serve hot with fresh ground black pepper and croutons sprinkled on top.

      Hands down, one of my favorites! Just tweaking the flavors a bit makes a whole new soup! Basil and tomato, fennel and tomato, hot peppers... I'll think I'll go fix some, right now... thanks for another great recipe.

      You know, this soup may just be the answer. I make a roasted red pepper soup we love (tomato used to be a fave) and we love it so much it sort of ruined tomato for us. I've never thought of combining the two. This sounds so good 🙂

      This looks greatI And since it can't eat dairy anymore, it could easily replace my tomato bisque that I used to love so much.

      This sounds great! I often add fennel to my tomato soup --http://noshesthoughtsreves.blogspot.com/2010/12/tomato-fennel-soup.html--(it lightens up the flavor in a lovely way) but this is definitely the next variation.

        Hi Francie. You can roast peppers on the stove in a dry skillet, directly over an open flame on a gas cooktop, or in the oven on a baking sheet, just turn them as each side blackens. Then peel away the blackened skin after it cools.
