Full of garden fresh veggies, spicy jalapenos and a touch of basil, this Spicy Tomato Soup will bring the flavor and heat to any table. A perfect year-round soup!
They get that gorgeous roasted glow. Don’t they look so good?! From here I remove the loose skins and pop the garlic cloves out of there skins. Using a blender, I love my BlendTec for this, I puree the roasted veggies.
I put the puree in a stock pot with a little chicken broth, salt and pepper to taste, basil pesto, and a little sugar.
When you are working with fresh veggies, sometimes you have to go by taste especially when it comes to sweetness. Some tomatoes will be very sweet and need little extra added sugar and others, not so much.
Simmer for a few minutes, garnish with parmesan and basil. That’s it! Once the veggies are roasted, it comes together really fast. If you want to skip the stock pot and extra simmering, you can actually finish this Spicy Tomato Basil Soup right in your blender especially one that has a soup setting such as a BlendTec.
By the way, these 45-Minute Basil Pesto Rolls go so nicely with this Spicy Tomato Soup. They have basil pesto inside and out and are ready in 45 minutes or less.
