Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Basil Bisque
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 3 red bell peppers
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes or heirloom tomatoes
- 3 tbsp avocado oil divided
- 1/2 large yellow onion diced
- 3 large cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups chopped cauliflower florets
- 5 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare the veggies: slice the bell pepper in half and remove stems and seeds. Lightly brush the the outside with oil. Gently toss the tomatoes in a bit of oil. Place bell peppers and tomatoes on a baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes or until tops are golden brown.
- While veggies are roasting, heat a large soup pot with 1 tbsp oil. Saute onion for 3-4 minutes, then add garlic and cook another 2 minutes. Toss in the cauliflower.
- Pour broth in the pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 7-8 minutes. Add the sea salt, and the bell peppers and tomatoes to the pot whenever they are done roasting.
- Add fresh basil to the pot. Using an immersion blender or a blender, blend until smooth.
- Garnish with fresh basil (optional). Serve hot!
