Red, orange and yellow bell peppers become sweet, smooth, and sooooo delicious, once they are roasted in the oven. Their flavors concentrate into these sweet melt in your mouth morsels.
This particular soup also makes use of roasted tomatoes and garlic, the perfect combination with the roasted bell peppers. I don't even put any salt or pepper in this soup. I just roast, peel, blend and serve. Such simple ingredients, and so good!
