Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Bisque for Two

This smooth, tangy soup is made with everyday ingredients but packed with special-occasion flavor. Simply simmer diced tomatoes, jarred roasted red pepper, onion, and garlic until all the savory flavors meld together. An immersion blender delivers a creamy texture without the mess of transferring the soup to a countertop blender, but either will do the trick to create a velvety mouthfeel. Spoon a generous serving into each bowl and top with toasted pepitas for the perfect crunchy garnish. Enjoy this tomato bisque on its own for a light lunch, or pair it with a veggie sandwich for dunking!

I threw everything in my Pampered Chef deluxe cooking blender; easy-peasy and ready in less than half a hour. Perfect to throw together after dinner.

Sandy

Excellent soup! I doubled the recipe and added a bit more heat -- a few drops of Tabasco sauce and some dried hot red chilis. Yummy! I'll definitely make this again.

Mawi

Couldn't you just blend everything without doing all the chopping and then heating it? it would be very easy that way and probably tastes the same!

Susan H.

I really love your recipes, but I would so appreciate nutritional information be included.
