This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients to create a truly healthy "tomato soup" that is also very tasty! Roasting the pepper will add richness and boost the flavour of this soup! and it can be done while sautéing the tomato and onion in olive oil to release a delicious liquid which will then blend together to create your soup. Follow me!

Ingredients

• 1 Red Bell Pepper
• 2 Heirloom Tomatoes 
• 1/2 onion 
• 3Tbsp Olive oil (cold-pressed)
• 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
• 4 fresh Basil leaves
• 1/2 lemon (freshly squeezed)

Instructions

1. OVEN ROAST YOUR BELL PEPPERS: Preheat oven to Broil. Cut pepper in halves and place them, outside face up, on a baking sheet with parchment paper. They will be ready, charred,  in 10-15 min. Let cool down, and peel the skin out.
2. PREPARE THE TOMATOES: while peppers are roasting, remove the stem of your tomatoes and cut in large chunks). Do the same with your onion.
3. In a large pan on low heat, add 1 Tbsp olive oil, then the onion, tomatoes and one basil leaf. Cook on low for about 10 min. Cover to retain more liquid and stir occasionally.
4. Closer to the end, I like to add a pinch of salt & a drop of maple syrup (totally optional!)
5. MAKE THE SOUP: Pour the skinned peppers and tomato mix in a blender. Add 3 more fresh basil leaves and squeeze some lemon juice before blending (low-medium-high-medium-low) for about 1 minute.
6. With your blender running on low, slowly add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp sea salt.. Stop and taste. Adjust seasoning and use water if you need a lighter consistency.
7. option to garnish with cherry tomatoes, basil, black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil
