Roasted Tomato & Red Pepper Soup
While it pains to bid farewell to summer, the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness is now officially upon us. After a great summer this year, I am now ready to welcome autumn with open arms. I am so in love with everything autumnal-the sound of the crispy leaves, the coziness of being inside and watching the rain through the window, the colours of the leaves changing into vibrant hues of orange, red, and yellow, and the list is endless. Everything seems magical to me this time of the year, and this magic lifts my creative spirit.
With the cold nights drawing in, there’s nothing that quite compares to curling up on the couch with a warm bowl of soup. The Roasted Tomato and Red Pepper Soup is healthy, light, and flavourful and is great as an appetizer or a light dinner. This simple and incredibly delicious soup will surely warm your soul on rainy and cold nights.
So this autumn, make sure you’re all insulated against the chilly weather with this deliciously rich tomato soup.
