1 cup (medium) of Roasted Pepper Soup (240 g) has 91 calories. That works out to 38 calories per 100 g. It contains 17.3 g of carbs, 3.1 g of protein, 1.7 g of fat and 5 g of fiber. Its 124.8 mg of Vitamin C covers 139% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 35 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Roasted pepper soup is made by cooking roasted red peppers—often with onion and stock—then blending them until smooth. Recipes vary: some include tomato, garlic or cream, and the soup can be served as a simple homemade starter or a light meal. Roasting brings out the peppers’ sweetness and adds a gentle smoky note; the finished texture is usually velvety, whether served hot or warm.
A swirl of cream and chopped herbs makes a familiar garnish, while crusty bread is an easy accompaniment. The soup is largely vegetable-based and provides fibre, with relatively little fat in a simple preparation. For a lighter bowl, leave out the cream; add beans or serve it alongside a sandwich if you want a more substantial meal.

Roasted pepper soup is usually made with roasted red peppers, onion, garlic, and vegetable or chicken stock, then blended until smooth. Recipes may add tomatoes, herbs, or cream, but the roasted peppers provide the soup’s main flavor.
For roasted pepper soup, cook whole peppers under a hot grill, over a flame, or in a very hot oven until their skins blister and blacken in spots. Cover them briefly after cooking so the skins loosen before peeling.
Red bell peppers are the best all-purpose choice for roasted pepper soup because they are fleshy, sweet, and blend smoothly. Use a mix of red and yellow peppers for a milder flavor, or add a small hot pepper for heat.
Yes, peel the peppers before blending roasted pepper soup. The charred skins can leave a coarse texture and a bitter, smoky edge; letting the roasted peppers steam briefly in a covered bowl makes peeling easier.
Yes, roasted pepper soup can be creamy without dairy cream. Blend it thoroughly, or add a cooked potato, white beans, or a little coconut milk for body; vegetable stock alone keeps the pepper flavor more pronounced.
Roasted pepper soup can taste bitter when the peppers are badly burnt or their charred skins remain in the mixture. Remove the skins and any blackened flesh, then balance a mildly bitter batch with a little sweetness from carrot or onion.
Yes, jarred roasted peppers work well in roasted pepper soup and save roasting time. Drain them first and taste before adding salt, since brined peppers can already be salty; simmer briefly with the other ingredients before blending.
Roasted pepper soup keeps for about 3 days in the refrigerator when cooled promptly and stored in a covered container. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, bringing it steaming hot while stirring so it warms evenly.
Yes, roasted pepper soup freezes well, especially before cream is added. Cool it, portion it into airtight freezer containers, and thaw it in the refrigerator; blend or stir it well after reheating if the texture has separated.
Serve roasted pepper soup with crusty bread, grilled cheese, or a simple green salad. Their mild or crisp flavors balance the soup’s sweet, smoky peppers without competing with its aroma.
