This roasted bell pepper tomato soup is one of my best tomato soups so far! It is currently in the first place, followed by my Creamy Peas Soup, Creamy Red Lentil Soup and Potato and Carrot Caraway Flavored Creamy Soup. Every time I make one of these soups I just can’t stop eating! I always eat triple servings… they’re addictive!
Very important!! I used corn because it adds some extra sweetness and texture to this tomato soup. If you live in US, Canada or any other country where you cannot buy organic, non-GMO corn it’s better not to add corn at all. Avoid corn if it’s GMO. Here is an article you should read: Monsanto GM corn caused tumors in rats.
Other than that, this roasted bell pepper tomato soup is amazing! Roasted red bell peppers have always been my favorite, and combined with the sweetness of roasted tomatoes, turned this soup into one of the best soups I’ve made. Give it a try!

Hey! What kind of pickle juice did you use? Dill, sweet, etc. Thanks
Gourmandelle says
Sweet is the best choice so the soup won’t get too sour 🙂

Hey I just tried this. It was delicious, except a little tart for my taste so I had to add about 2 tbsp of sugar. I would probably add less vineager in the future. I wanted to point out that you didn’t put when to add the tomato paste in your instructions. I love your recipes, thank you for posting!

Thanks Sharon! I just updated the recipe. About the vinegar, I used vinegar from the pickles jar which is sweeter as it already has sugar added. I will add a different quantity for apple vinegar. Thanks for the tip!
