Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Cut the red bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and stems.

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the red bell peppers have charred skin and the vegetables are tender.

Using an immersion blender or a high-speed countertop blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy.
