make at the last minute Creamy Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato Soup
This Make at the last minute 5 ingredient Creamy Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup is perfect for busy days where you just have no idea what to make. Most of the ingredients are typically found right in your pantry. Vegetable broth, canned tomatoes and a jar roasted red peppers is all you need. Makes this soup “souper” easy!
A match made in heaven on a cold winter day is an extra cheese Grilled Cheese sandwich paired with a bowl of this Creamy Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup. Just dip your sandwich right in and enjoy. We had some extra Gruyere cheese around I have to say, it’s the best for grilled cheese. However, any cheese will do!

This is one of those easy soups that you can whip up in no time but tastes like it simmered forever. The whole family will love it so you may want to double it up. Extras can easily be frozen and enjoyed later.
I added some light cream into my soup at the end to make it a little more hearty and well creamy. You can easily omit it or use almond milk to make this vegan friendly. However, if you are not vegan, it adds quite a bit to the texture and heartiness. A little light cream never hurt anyone! Find more soup ideas here.

Tell me Tomato soup and grilled cheese combo yes or no?
Coming in 2021 Meatless Monday will become Cook Well, Eat Well, Live Well to showcase even more healthy family friendly recipes.
I have not had this combo in so long but now all I want to do is dunk that grilled cheese in that soup and it’s not even 5am yet. I like to cut up my grilled cheese into cubs and put them in the soup to get nice and soggy, weird? I like things soggy. Anyway, that soup looks amazing and canned tomato is certainly the way to go in the winter!
One of the all time best combos ever
I came across a recipe that was similar except it had way more steps and seemed too complicated haha. I’m so glad you shared a much easier recipe for this style soup!!
It’s “souper” easy hope you give it a try
This sounds “souper” delicious! I love tomato soup and I’ll bet the red pepper adds a little spicy extra flavor.
Lots of flavor and lots of comfort in a bowl
Looks souper delicious! Pinned for later.
Thanks! Comfort in a bowl 🙂
I love tomato soup! This would be prefect for a cold or rainy day!

It is perfect soup weather today! I love how simple and satisfying tomato soup is.

Sounds delicious! I agree, homemade tomato soup is so much tastier than the canned version I grew up eating.
Definitely! Don’t know how we ever ate those canned versions
I haven’t had tomato soup in ages but this looks delicious! I need to try this out for lunch…now I’m craving grilled cheese!
Hope you enjoy it! The soup and the grilled cheese combo is delish
I thought I had to go shopping before dinner and being gone 5 days but I think I might actually have everything to make this!! Looks so cozy and delicious.

Mmmm, you have my mouth watering. I wonder if my kids would like this. Would go perfectly with the grilled cheese that they are always begging for!
Definitely worth a try!
Such a simple dish but one that always leaves me feeling full and satisfying. I love how you got the grilled cheese sandwich floating there in the soup. Great photography skills!
Well thanks! It’s always nice when that works well isn’t it?
Ahhh, yay for soup! <3 This looks so good–I can't wait to try this out! I love the idea of swirling it with pesto!
Thanks I liked the flavor boost it brought as well
This looks SO GOOD. Grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup have always been…and will always be…my #1 comfort food! I even eat them during overnight ultramarathons!

Warm soup on a cold day is the best isn’t it?
I’m gonna have to make this again! It’s been a few months since the last time, but I love the richness of it and the full flavor of the peppers <3
I remember that you tried it last year. I hope you love it again
This sounds perfect on a chilly day like today, and I love how simple it is to make!

There really isn’t!
This is A’s favorite and has been on repeat for the last couple weeks with teeth being pulled and braces.

This soup looks delicious. I made homemade tomato soup too this past weekend. It was terrible weather here on Saturday. I pinned your post so others can try this recipe too.
Thanks so much really appreciate that!
What a fabulous soup recipe! I love how the tomato and roasted red pepper taste together. So good! Can’t wait to try.
Thanks so much it’s one of my go to soups every year
Great minds think alike – I’m making an easy tomato soup for dinner momentarily! It’s definitely a chilly soup day around here. I like your addition of roasted red pepper, awesome idea!
you can never go wrong with tomato soup!
This is one of those dynamic trio recipes right here! Tomato + Red Peppers + Grilled cheese (with gruyere) is the BEST!!!
I agree! 🙂 thanks
Ahhh I love tomato soup so much! This one looks delicious.
Thanks so much! It’s super easy hope you give it a try
Great soup! I’m concerned about the confusion over the “cloves.” Although I’m sure garlic is good actual cloves are what made it so special to me worth buying if you don’t have any.
