Winter season is all about soups in our house. We have our favorite winter soups like clear chicken soup, broccoli soup, and pumpkin soup, but we also like to try new combinations in soups for variety.
This easy red pepper soup ticks off all the boxes when it comes to comfort and warmth for the winter months.
Red bell peppers are rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin A, beta-carotene, potassium, and folate.
Roasting the red bell peppers reduces some of the Vitamin C, but you can always pair it with a fresh salad or tomato sandwich to add more Vitamin C-rich foods to the meal.
In case you are wondering,
WHAT TO SERVE WITH RED PEPPER SOUP?
Depending on the soup recipe you are going with you can either pair it with sweet or savory sides to balance out the flavors.
This roasted pepper tomato soup recipe is more on the savory side and the soup in itself is very light, in that case, it would pair well with other cheesy or hearty sides.
Some examples could be,
Toasted garlic cheese bread
Tomato and cheese sandwich
Mediterranean lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, black olives, and feta salad
Baked mozzarella sticks
