If you are looking for a healthy meal and you don’t want to put that much effort, this One Tray Roasted Pepper Cream Soup it’s perfect for you. Yes, you only have to place the veggies on a tray and put them in the oven. And then blend them with water or veggie broth and your heart warming soup it’s ready.
Roasting will change the veggies taste. The olive oil and the herbs will enhance the flavors.
I don’t peel the peppers after roasting. I know that a lot of people do this. The peppers skin is perfectly edible. Only if you are cooking them over fire grill and it gets black, then you should peel it.
Don’t be afraid to add a whole garlic head for this recipe, cause roasted garlic it’s easier to digest. You just have to cut 1/2 inch/ 1 cm of the garlic’s top, just like in the picture below. I don’t cover it with Aluminium foil, like many recipes recommend you, cause I don’t find it safe to come in contact with food. Leaving the garlic uncovered works too, as long as you coat the top with olive oil. After roasting, just squeeze it out of the skin.
Add chili flakes, smoked paprika, caraway powder for more flavor.
