You can’t beat a bowl of homemade soup for simple comfort food in the colder months. This Roasted Tomato & Red Pepper Soup is easy to make and perfect for feeding a family on a budget.
I know not all kids enjoy soup and so I have included a genius idea for serving soup to fussy eaters down below.
The first step in this recipe is to chop up tomatoes and red peppers.
Add to a baking dish with garlic, olive oil and oregano and roast in the oven.
Roasting the vegetables helps to bring out more flavour which will make an even more delicious soup!
Add the roasted veggies to a saucepan with chopped potatoes and hot vegetable stock and simmer for 20 minutes.
I add potatoes to my soup as it helps to naturally thicken it. It also adds more nutrients, particularly as I don’t peel the potatoes.
After 20 minutes the potatoes will be soft and it times to blitz the soup until smooth.
You can transfer the soup to a stand blender or use a hand blender directly into the saucepan like I have done here.
And that’s it. A delicious and healthy soup that’s perfect on a cold day.
For kids I serve this as it is. But for adults you may want to add a sprinkling of salt and pepper to season a little more.
Serve it up for lunch or dinner with a cheese sandwich or just some plain bread and butter for dipping.
You can also send it to school in a food flask for a hot lunch.
Some children really struggle to eat soup. Sometimes it’s a texture issue or other times it’s simply because it’s difficult to eat.
It can be messy and requires good hand to mouth coordination.
Instead serve it like a pasta sauce instead so that kids are still getting all the nutritional benefits but you are presenting it in a way that they prefer.
PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS
I highly recommend these Food Flasks to send hot food into school or nursery for children.
This is the Hand Blender I use. It’s a very simple one but does the job perfectly!
