Roasted Pepper and Tomato Soup

I have been in love with a particular brand of organic Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato soup for a long time but was rather embarrassed to see that it is not vegan (I am) and hadn't noticed!  So, I found a number of vegan roasted red pepper and tomato soup recipes online and began to improvise with what I had around here and with what I hoped would be a fairly close replication of the store-bought soup that I love so much.

Here is the recipe for vegan Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup I finally settled on.  I may do some more improvisations of it.  Let me know what you think and if/how you made changes! 

INGREDIENTS

1 can/796ml/26oz Organic Crushed Tomatoes

1 medium Organic Yellow Onion, chopped

1/4 C. Water or Vegetable Broth

1 small Organic Head of Garlic

3 Large Organic Bell Peppers (not green)

1 tsp./15 g Paprika

Salt, Pepper to taste

1/2 C. Water 

2 tsp. Balsamic Vinegar

Almond or Coconut Milk


Method 


PEPPERS

1. Preheat oven to 500F/205C  Place oven rack in the highest slot to roast the vegetables
2. Cover roasting pan bottom (no lid) with parchment paper
3. I use full, uncut peppers or you might want to cut and cut out seeds 
4. Place washed peppers on the pan (I do not use oil, but you can if you want).  Roast for about 20 minutes.  Let cool.  Remove skin (and seeds if you haven't done so). 

ONIONS & GARLIC

1. Place Garlic into small pieces of aluminum foil, twist shut.  
2. Spread Onion on pan and put garlic in the middle
3. Roast as you did peppers, but maybe check in about 10-15 minutes to make sure they aren't too dried up
4. Remove and cool. 

THE SOUP

1. Roughly chop Peppers and put them with all other ingredients into a soup pot over medium heat.  Stir until everything is softened and homogeneous (smooth and different ingredients aren't really identifiable-- looks like a nice lumpy red sauce and the onions, etc. are soft.)  
2. Using an immersion blender, blend everything smoothe.  If you don't have an immersion blender, use your regular blender and whirl up the soup.
3. Serve in individual bowls with a circle of Almond or Coconut Milk, and a garnish of green onion or parsley.  

Enjoy!  Pour leftover soup into a mason jar and enjoy the next day (makes about 6 bowls.)

Spunky Monkey DIY Vegan Chocolate-Chia Ice Cream

Vegan, plant-based, and 100% delicious! This creamy homemade ice cream will win over everyone— no politics, just pure joy. Vegan and Delicious: Everyone Will Love This! Sometimes the word "vegan" evokes strong feelings like anxiety (as in "Please don't take away my meat") and/or hostility (as in "What a bunch of commie flakes all vegans are"). There are probably good reasons for both of these passionate emotions because we frequently come across strident, fear-mongering diatribes online blasting us from the ivory towers of the most raging animal-freedom activist or the highly evangelistic plant-based health advocate. "Plant-based" is an alternate description for a lifestyle choice to eat from the array of fruit, greens, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Using the term "plant-based" instead of "vegan" may be less intimidating. It even sounds like, although the diet has a plant-based foundation, it possibly includes meat and eggs...

G7 2025: Why It Matters

  57th G7 Summit- Wikipedia commons. What is the G7? 🤝 The Group of Seven (G7) is a forum of seven wealthy, democratic nations: Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan, along with the European Union . It started in 1975 as the G6 to coordinate responses to global economic shocks like inflation and oil shortages. Canada joined in 1976 to form the G7(1). Russia was briefly part of the group (making it the G8), but was expelled in 2014 after invading Crimea (2). How Does It Work? The G7 is informal — there’s no permanent office, headquarters, or constitution . One country hosts the summit each year and sets the agenda. Leadership rotates annually among the member countries in a fixed order (3). The summit itself is usually a 3-day event where world leaders meet in private for discussions, photo ops, and joint statements (although this year’s format is changing — more on that later). What’s the Point? The G7’s original mission was to tackl...
