Warm Up with Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup | Comfort in a Bowl I A Perfect Fall/Winter Recipe!

 Winter season calls for hot , delicious soups that give us warmth.

This is a soup that I tried for the first time in 2012 when I was in Washington DC to attend a wedding.

I have recreated this recipe in my own style and this is one of our family favourite.

Serve the yummy roasted red pepper and tomato soup with some garlic bread. It's a great recipe for a cold winter night.
