Tomato Soup with Orzo and Roasted Pepper brings ripe tomatoes and sweet, smoky roasted pepper together with small pasta pieces. It makes a gently thick, comforting soup, with the orzo adding a soft, pleasantly substantial bite. Versions of tomato soup are familiar in many cuisines, while this combination gives it a Mediterranean feel.
Serve it hot as a light lunch or as a starter, with crusty bread or a simple sandwich; a little fresh herb on top works well too. Tomatoes contribute lycopene and vitamin C, while the pasta provides complex carbohydrates. For a lighter bowl, keep the added oil modest and let the roasted pepper and tomato carry the flavour.

Cook onion, tomatoes, and roasted pepper until soft, then blend the mixture and add orzo. Simmer until the pasta is tender, stirring occasionally so it does not stick. Add hot water or stock if the soup becomes thicker than you like.
Yes, canned tomatoes work well in Tomato Soup with Orzo and Roasted Pepper, especially when ripe fresh tomatoes are unavailable. Use the same volume as you would fresh tomatoes, and taste before adding salt if the canned tomatoes are already seasoned.
No, you can cook the orzo directly in Tomato Soup with Orzo and Roasted Pepper for a thicker, more cohesive soup. Cook it separately if you expect leftovers, since orzo continues absorbing liquid and can become very soft in stored soup.
Yes, but the orzo may turn soft after freezing and thawing. For the best texture, freeze the blended tomato-and-roasted-pepper base without pasta, then add freshly cooked orzo after thawing and reheating.
Roast the peppers over a flame, under a broiler, or in a hot oven until their skins blister and darken in spots. Cover them briefly to loosen the skins, then peel and remove the seeds before adding the flesh to the soup.
Crusty bread, a grilled cheese sandwich, or a simple green salad pairs well with Tomato Soup with Orzo and Roasted Pepper. For a lighter meal, serve it with bread and a salad rather than another rich side.
Blend the cooked tomatoes and roasted pepper thoroughly to give Tomato Soup with Orzo and Roasted Pepper a smooth, fuller texture without cream. You can also stir in a little unsweetened plant milk or olive oil just before serving.
Tomato Soup with Orzo and Roasted Pepper keeps for up to three days in a covered container in the refrigerator. The orzo will absorb liquid as it sits, so loosen the soup with a splash of water or stock when reheating.
Tomato Soup with Orzo and Roasted Pepper can taste sharp when the tomatoes are especially tart or have not cooked long enough. Simmer it longer first; if it is still too acidic, balance the flavor with a small amount of sugar or cream.
Yes, you can prepare the roasted-pepper and tomato base ahead and refrigerate it, then cook the orzo in the soup shortly before serving. This keeps the pasta from soaking up too much liquid and becoming mushy while the soup waits.
