Check out this super easy and hands-off dinner idea – a delicious Roasted Red Pepper, Carrot, and Tomato Sheet Pan Soup! It’s not just easy to make, but also perfect for a cozy and comforting meal.
To whip up this tasty soup, simply toss red bell peppers, carrots, cauliflower, tomatoes, garlic, and onion on a large sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with seasonings like smoked paprika, cayenne, and cumin. Roast for about 45 minutes at 400˚F until all the veggies are fork-tender.
While the veggies are roasting away, get some chores done or kick back with a glass of wine – that’s the kind of cooking we love! 😆
Once the vegetables are ready, throw them into a blender while they’re still hot. Add hot broth and lemon juice, blend for a minute, and voila – your soup is ready!
Now, here’s a secret: you can use this formula with different veggies based on what’s in your fridge. Get creative!
And let’s not forget about the amazing Grilled Cheese Croutons. It’s basically grilled cheese cut into small cubes, but trust us, they’re too good to miss!
