Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 large Roma tomatoes quartered
- 2 medium red bell peppers roughly chopped
- 1 yellow onion roughly chopped
- 1 shallot roughly chopped
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup packed basil leaves plus more for garnish
- 1/2 teaspoon sherry vinegar optional
- 1/4 cup heavy cream or coconut milk, plus more for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Add tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, shallot, and garlic on a baking tray or sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Season with chili flakes, salt, pepper, olive oil, tossing to combine.
- Roast for 30 to 40 minutes in the oven until your tomatoes and bell peppers are softened, and slightly charred in places.
- Transfer this mixture, with any juices, to a blender with vegetable broth, basil leaves, and sherry vinegar. Blend until completely smooth and then add in your cream. Do a final pulse to combine, and season with salt, pepper, or vinegar, as needed.
- Serve in bowls with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, a crank of black pepper, a few basil sprigs, and a little drizzle of any reserved cream.
Notes
- One single layer: Ensure your vegetables are spread out in one single layer to allow for even roasting. If they are too crowded, they will steam rather than roast.
- Prep and Reheating: You can prepare, roast, and blend this ahead of time. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave when ready to serve. The soup might thicken overnight in the fridge; just adjust as needed with a splash of water.
- Storing: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
