One of my favorite soup recipes: bell pepper & tomato. By roasting the bell pepper, the taste becomes just a little smoky. However, if you don’t like the smoky flavor, you can also bake the ingredients in a pan. This soup is full of fresh vegetables, and may be exactly what you need on a summer day.
