INGREDIENTS
2 cups Roasted Tomatoes (400g)
1 medium Roasted Red Bell Pepper (119g)
1/2 cup White Beans (125g)
1/2 cup cooked Red Lentils (100g)
1/4 block Extra Firm Tofu (85g)
1/4 cup Fresh Basil leaves (5g)
1/4 cup Light Greek Yogurt (60g)
2 cups Vegetable Broth (480ml)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange halved tomatoes and a whole red bell pepper (with a light drizzle of olive oil) on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
While the vegetables roast, rinse and drain the white beans, and cook the red lentils according to package instructions if not pre-cooked.
Once roasted, peel the red bell pepper (remove skin and seeds) and roughly chop along with the tomatoes.
In a large pot, combine the roasted tomatoes, chopped bell pepper, white beans, red lentils, and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Add the extra firm tofu (cut into small cubes) and a handful of fresh basil leaves. Let simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth with a few chunks remaining for texture. If you prefer it creamier, blend completely.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot with a swirl of light Greek yogurt on top for a creamy finish and garnish with extra basil.
