This paleo roasted red pepper soup is the perfect warm soup for a cold night. Dairy free and Whole30 friendly! Make a batch and freeze it for an easy weeknight meal.
Red peppers are such a versatile vegetable, aren't they? I love them for breakfast in a quiche or in egg muffin cups, I love them for lunch in this amazing Asian Chicken Salad from Tasty Thin, and I love them roasted - they get tender and sweet and are perfect on top of a paleo pizza crust - or, pureed up in this here paleo roasted red pepper soup.
And, I think if I had to pick a category of foods to eat for the rest of my life, soups and stews would be a the top of the list. They're so versatile, flavorful, and are easy to pack a bunch of veggies into. Broccoli soup, tomato soup, sweet potato soup. Yum, Yum, and more Yum. And now - paleo roasted red pepper soup!
I've looked for roasted red pepper soup in the store. If you're paleo, its really tough to find one that is not packed full of sugar and other additives. And if you're Whole30? Forget it. You have to make your own, no doubt about it.
If you want to make soup in the easiest way possible, get yourself an immersion blender. I promise you, it will make your most used kitchen tools list in no time.
This soup is the perfect warm meal for a cold night. It makes a bunch, so it's also great for freezing and having on hand as a last-minute meal!
