It can’t get any easier than my Vegan Spicy Roasted Red Pepper and Garlic soup made with only 6 clean ingredients and less than 30 minutes of your time.
You’ll start by roasting the red bell peppers and garlic cloves for about 20 minutes, then blending them with the remaining ingredients in a Vitamix and a healthy lunch or dinner is ready to go!
Depending on the size and heat of your jalapeno, you may want to start with only 1/2 and then add the other 1/2 if you’d like. I use one large jalapeno and it’s very hot!
You can also roast an entire head of garlic instead of just the two cloves you need for this recipe and save the rest to make hummus or a salad dressing.
Before serving, I like to add and stir in about a handful of chopped baby spinach to give the soup extra nutrition, but it’s optional.
This is a quick and easy meal made with real food ingredients and is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and paleo-friendly.
