What’s Better Than Tomato Soup? Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Soup!
While we love a good mug of creamy tomato soup—yes, we are soup-in-a-mug people—this roasted red pepper soup gives classic tomato soup a run for it’s money! Roasted peppers—they come from a jar, so no prep needed—plus fire roasted tomatoes make for a boldly flavored soup with a wonderful smoky flavor that we just adore. Particularly as we head into the cooler months, this is exactly the kind of flavor profile we really crave. Crumbled goat cheese is our topping of choice, but you can also play around with the garnishes—just like regular tomato soup, it pairs really well with a perfect grilled cheese.
What You’ll Need To Make The Best Roasted Red Pepper Soup You’ve Ever Tasted.

- Onion

How To Make Roasted Red Pepper Soup
Because this red pepper soup recipe gets all of its roasty, toasty, smoky goodness from work done by someone else—thank you, canned fire-roasted tomatoes and roasted peppers!—it’s a very easy soup that offers a major return on your minimal time investment. In other words, it rocks. Here’s how to make the very best roasted red pepper and tomato soup:
- Onions + brown sugar = quick caramelized onions! And by quick, we mean about 20 minutes instead of hours. However! If you are tight on time, just sauté the onions in oil for a few minutes like you normally would when you start a soup recipe.
- Add the garlic, roasted red peppers, roasted tomatoes and stock.
- Bring the soup to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes.
- Season! Salt, vinegar, Italian seasoning, paprika and red pepper flakes. Let the pot simmer for a few more minutes so the flavors meld.
- Purée! The best way to do this is with an immersion blender, but you can also do it—very carefully—in a blender. Just work in batches and be careful with the hot soup.
