INGREDIENTS
1 cup Canned Diced Tomatoes (240g)
1 medium Roasted Red Bell Pepper (120g)
1/2 medium Yellow Onion (50g)
2 cloves Garlic (6g)
1 cup Cannellini Beans (240g)
1 cup Vegetable Broth (240g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
1/2 cup Silken Tofu (124g)
1 oz Grated Parmesan Cheese (28g)
1/4 cup Fresh Basil, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place the halved red bell pepper (if not pre-roasted) on a baking sheet and roast until the skin is slightly charred, about 15 minutes. If using pre-roasted, skip this step.
On a baking sheet, spread out the canned diced tomatoes (drained slightly), roughly chopped yellow onion, and garlic cloves. Drizzle with a little olive oil and roast for about 20 minutes to bring out their natural sweetness.
In a medium pot, pour in the vegetable broth and add the roasted tomatoes, onion, garlic, and red bell pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Add the cannellini beans and let the mixture simmer for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Transfer the hot mixture to a blender. Add the silken tofu and fresh basil. Blend until smooth and creamy. Return the soup to the pot.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Warm the soup over low heat if needed.
Serve hot and enjoy the comforting blend of roasted tomato, basil, and a creamy texture enriched with protein.
