The first time I made this soup, I had an excess amount of tomatoes, I got some and so did Anirudh my husband. I wanted to try something else, I got bored with the usual tomato soup, I had red capsicum with thought, the taste came out more red.
I usually get my veggies for my recipes from Gourmet Garden, they have the most fresh produce and it is highly affordable too. They have all the herbs I need for my recipe and it is delivered within a day!
This recipe does take time, I had to bake twice, since I didn’t have a big enough dish to roast in, so it took my an hour to bake it. While it was baking I had time to work on my day job! Which was cool. It takes around 30-45 minutes to bake, give it that time. It needs to roast well. You can use any herb for seasoning. I prefer thyme and rosemary for this!
This soup is perfect for the cold winter evening with fresh bread or dinner rolls! I loved having it with cheese, something about cheese and soup! Get the best ripe tomatoes for this recipe!
