Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup
Description
The soup begins by softening diced onions and minced garlic in avocado oil over medium-low heat until fragrant. Spices such as salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika are added to develop layers of flavor. Tomato paste is stirred in before adding jarred roasted red peppers, canned diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, and coconut milk, which contributes to the creamy texture and mild sweetness.
The mixture is brought to a boil and then simmered covered for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. After simmering, the soup is blended using an immersion blender or a standard blender until smooth and velvety.
This soup can be served with crackers or enjoyed alone. The combination of smoky roasted peppers and the richness of coconut milk brings a complex flavor profile and comforting warmth, suitable for a light meal or starter.
