This slow roasted tomato and bell pepper soup is my two favorite things, homey and simple. The key here is roasting the Roma tomatoes at a lower temperature for a longer period of time, allowing them to get nice and jammy in flavor. If you’re short on time, use canned whole tomatoes.
This recipe stores well in the fridge for 5 days.
