My family and I have been on a major soup kick lately. Whatever I’ve been discovering on sale at the grocery store, I’ve been transforming into some super tasty soups. 🙂

In the last couple of weeks, the grocery stores nearby have had red peppers on sale for super super cheap. The red peppers are so cheap that I bought so many I didn’t even have a plan for them. Usually I like to figure out a meal plan ahead of time but I couldn’t resist those peppers.

I swear, they were calling my name.

Using the red peppers and the rest of the ingredients I had on hand, I made a delicious creamy roasted red pepper soup!

I just love how many different ways a person can make soup. They can be thick and creamy or they can be chunky or smooth. I like my soup and lots of different ways.

This roasted red pepper and tomato soup resulted in something so delicious and tasty that I even surprised myself!

I was so happy with how the soup turned out, that I was pretty much dancing for joy in the kitchen before served it to everyone. LOL

I mean I do make some pretty good meals, but this soup was soooooo flavorful.

Fresh red peppers were roasted in the oven with some olive oil, a whole lot of garlic and some herbs for about 25 minutes. Doing this made for some amazingly fragrant and spectacular roasted red peppers. The scent was just wonderful.

Once the roasted red peppers were ready, I put them into my soup pot with some canned whole tomatoes and a little balsamic vinegar and puréed everything using my hand blender. If you don’t have a hand blender don’t worry, I’ve included some instructions on what to do if you don’t have one.

To the pot, I add some chicken stock and some Bay leaves along with a little more thyme. Once this had some more time to cook, I added some heavy cream to give the soup a nice smooth richness.

This recipe is amazing with some freshly grated Parmesan sprinkled on top and served with some nice crusty bread. 🙂

I really hope you enjoy this recipe is much as we do so please let me know if you have a chance to try it out!
