How to make Skinny Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper Soup!
Saute’ up some onions and garlic. Pretty basic!
Add a couple large cans of tomatoes. You can use whole, chopped or even crushed. Drain a couple jars of roasted red peppers and chop them up. Toss them in with some chicken stock.
Now the fun part…power tools! I use an immersion blender. (it’s 20 years old BTW. Must have been the first immersion blender the cave men used. Still works like a champ!). Feel pretty good about recommending this brand !
You can also use a blender or food processor. But if you have no gadgets that blend..we still got ya covered. You can just mash it up with a tomato masher and leave it chunky. I love chunky! And Skinny! I love Chunky and Skinny…there I said it. I am a lover of it all!
So there you have it folks. Skinny Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper soup. I feel skinner…do I look skinnier?

I used the leftovers of this awesome soup to make a new dinner. I sauteed sliced baby Portobello mushrooms with 1 pound of sweet Italian sausage. I then mixed everything with 1 pound of fettuccine noodles and topped with feta cheese. It was delicious! Thanks for creating a versatile and yummy soup! Both recipes were super easy!
