Keywords: Vegan, < 4 Hours
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds ripe tomatoes
- 1 red onion
- 1 red bell pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 to 8 fresh sage leaves
- 2 cups vegetable bouillon (or enough to cover vegetables)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven and Prepare Vegetables: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the tomatoes thoroughly, then halve them. Cut the red bell pepper in half, removing the core and seeds, and quarter the red onion.
-
Arrange on Baking Pan: Place the halved tomatoes, red bell pepper halves, and onion quarters on a large baking sheet. Scatter the fresh sage leaves among the vegetables.
-
Season and Roast: Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the vegetables, ensuring they are well-coated. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the top. Roast in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
-
Transfer and Bake: Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and transfer them to an ovenproof dish. Pour in the vegetable bouillon, adding enough to just cover the vegetables. Bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the vegetables to become fully tender.
-
Cool and Blend: Once the vegetables are cooked, allow them to cool slightly. Using a hand blender (immersion blender), puree the mixture until smooth. If you don’t have a hand blender, you can carefully transfer the mixture to a regular blender in batches.
-
Reheat and Serve: Pour the pureed soup into a pot and reheat it on the stove over medium heat until warmed through. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
-
Garnish and Enjoy: Ladle the hot soup into bowls, and garnish with finely chopped fresh sage for an added burst of flavor. Serve warm and enjoy the comforting, earthy flavors of this roasted vegetable soup.
Serving Suggestion: This soup pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or a light green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
Feel free to adjust the seasoning and ingredients according to your taste preferences. Happy cooking and enjoy the hearty warmth of this delightful soup! 🍲🌟
