Ingredients

8 to 9 medium tomatoes (about 5 pounds), cored and quartered

3 red bell peppers (about 1 pound), seeded and quartered

2 small yellow onions, cut into ¾″ wedges

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

6 cloves garlic, unpeeled

4 cups vegetable broth

¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Fine salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Place tomatoes on one sheet, bell peppers and onions on the other. Add garlic cloves to the second sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over each sheet and toss gently.
  3. Arrange tomatoes and peppers skin-side down. Bake tomatoes on the top rack, peppers and onions on the middle rack for 35–45 minutes, until tender and slightly golden.
  4. Bring vegetable broth to a boil in a large soup pot. Peel garlic and add to pot with all roasted vegetables, smoked paprika, cayenne (if using), and ¼ teaspoon salt. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Blend the soup with an immersion blender or in batches using a stand blender until smooth.
  6. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm or store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freezer for up to 6 months.

Notes

  • For a creamier version, blend in 2 tbsp heavy cream or ¼ cup half-and-half. Alternatively, top with sour cream or vegan sour cream.
  • Add 5–15 fresh basil leaves while blending for a herby twist.
  • Freeze in canning jars with 1 inch of headroom. Loosely seal until fully frozen.
