How to Make Roasted Red Pepper Soup in the Blender

Preheat your oven to 425° F. Line a cookie sheet with foil. Wash your red bell peppers, core and seed them, and slice them into 1/2 inch strips. Place them on the foil-lined cookie sheet. Cook for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and place peppers in the blender.

Place tomatoes, broth, half and half, salt, pepper, garlic, basil and red pepper flakes in the blender.

If using a Blendtec, push the soup button and let it run its cycle and then serve. If using another blender, blend the soup until smooth and then heat on the stove.

Serve the soup topped with croutons and parmesan cheese, if desired.
