Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs ripe tomatoes, quartered
- 2 large red bell peppers, halved and seeded
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the quartered tomatoes and halved red bell peppers on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Roast the tomatoes and peppers in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are caramelized and tender.
- Once roasted, transfer the tomatoes and peppers to the crockpot. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, vegetable broth, the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and chopped basil. Stir everything together to combine.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
- After cooking, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Adjust the texture to your preference.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. If the soup is too thick, add a little more vegetable broth.
Notes
- Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- To reheat, warm it on the stove over medium heat until heated through.
- For freezing, pour cooled soup into freezer-safe bags or containers; it can last up to 3 months.
