Wondering what to do with all of your tomatoes, especially in the summer months? I could eat this roasted tomato pepper bisque soup any time of the year. It’s so easy to make and beats snacking on junk when the urge strikes.
Get your healthy dose of Lycopene with this satisfying soup. It’s anti-cancer, anti-macular degeneration and good for your skin. It also helps prevent osteoporosis and is heart protective.
The flavor really intensifies when you roast the tomatoes, bell pepper, onions, and garlic. I only had small grape tomatoes for this photo shoot, but they work as well as large tomatoes. And, this recipe comes together so quickly. Once the vegetables are roasted, add them a large soup pot, along with the vegetable stock and use an immersion blender to make it smooth (or use your blender).
The addition of a little non-dairy milk and a few spices finishes it off. I prefer coconut milk in a BPA free can but you can use any kind. If you’d like to up the protein content in this dish, you can blend in some chickpeas into this, creating an even thicker, creamier bisque.
Serve with some crusty whole-grain bread with a slice of Miyoko’s Smoked Gouda (my new favorite vegan cheese), a large salad and dinner is served. So cozy, so simple, so flavorful and satisfying.
This soup freezes well; just pour into individual freezer-safe containers, and pull out of your freezer the night before so you can have your soup for a quick and no thought work lunch on the go. It will most likely be semi-frozen the next morning, making it the perfect cooler pack to keep your salad and fruit cold. The soup will thaw by lunch-time, making it easy to heat up in less than two minutes.

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the tomatoes, onions and peppers onto it. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika.
- Bake in the oven for about 5 minutes and then add the garlic cloves. Continue to roast the vegetables until they soften and start to caramelize, about 15 minutes, stirring about halfway through. Check to see if they're browning.
- Put the vegetables into a large soup pot and add the vegetable broth. Use an immersion blender (or transfer to a blender) to process until smooth, in batches if necessary.
- Add 1/2 cup of unsweetened non-dairy milk and stir to combine. Taste and add up to 1/2 cup more, if needed. Season with salt, pepper, and more paprika.
This dish was extremely easy to prepare and make. Very tasty perfect amount of spice. I didn’t have vegetable stock so I used water and it still came out delicious. Next time I’ll try it with the vegetable stock.
Thanks for the feedback! ???? I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I sometimes like to only use tomatoes, but it’s good either way.
