This roasted red pepper velouté is one of my favorite go to recipes when I want something impressive but don't have much time. Red peppers are packed with vitamin C, which is great for your immune system, and the whole dish comes together in just 45 minutes from start to finish. The beauty of this soup is that it requires just a handful of simple ingredients you probably already have at home, making it both budget friendly and incredibly easy to pull together on a weeknight. The roasting brings out a natural sweetness in the peppers that makes this velvety soup feel like pure comfort in a bowl.
