Smoky Tomato Soup
Smoky Tomato Soup blends fire roasted tomatoes with roasted red peppers and smoked paprika for a rich, flavorful base. The addition of carrot, onion, and garlic provides a mild sweetness and depth. Blending the soup smooth creates a creamy texture without cream, making it a comforting warm dish with a subtle smoky heat from the cayenne pepper.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion chopped, medium
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 carrot peeled and chopped
- 28 ounces fire roasted tomatoes with juices
- 28 ounces diced tomatoes regular; with juices
- 12 oz roasted red peppers jarred; drained and roughly chopped
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over high heat. Add the onion and carrot and sauté until soft and tender, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to medium heat and stir in the garlic. Add the fire roasted tomatoes, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, vegetable broth, bay leaf, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt. Stir and let simmer over low for 15 minutes.
- Remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth or until desired consistency is reached.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm.
Notes
- If you don’t have an immersion blender, cool the soup to room temperature before blending in batches using a regular blender to avoid splatters.
