Roasted pepper and tomato is literally the taste of summer to me. It is the simplest we can get, and the best we can use. Simply roasted, eaten is salads, soups, sandwiches or as an addition to any meal – it is just amazing. This time soup it is. If you´ve never made it, I am telling you that you are definitely missing out on something great.
You can use any type of tomatoes. Either small varieties which are much sweeter or bigger ones. If you are using bigger ones, cut them into sixths or eights prior to roasting.
When it comes to peppers, my favourites are sweet red peppers. I bake them whole and then clean them once they are baked.
