Roasted Pepper and Tomato Soup
Hello there!
I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and most people are very full of food so I thought a soup recipe will help anyone trying to get back into their healthy food routine. The pepper flavour is subtle and the soup is very filling because of the addition of the lentils for extra protein and as a thickening agent. Enjoy!
The Recipe: Roasted Pepper and Tomato Soup
Serves 4
Preheat an oven to 200C/Gas marks 4 and cut the peppers into squares, drizzle with oil and season. Roast in the oven for 20-30 minutes.
While roasting, fry the diced onion in a saucepan with a little oil until soft then add the crushed garlic. Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree and vegetable stock then bring to a simmer.
Once simmering, add the lentils and boil for 20-25 minutes until the lentils are cooked.
For the last 10 minutes add the roasted peppers and then blend until smooth with a hand blender. Serve with some warm bread.
