Nutrition Facts
Prep
- Carrots / Roasted red peppers / Onions - Prep as directed. Store in separate containers. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Prep garlic bread - Chop parsley. Mash garlic with butter, parmesan, and parsley. Slice bread open lengthwise, and spread on garlic butter.
Make
- Heat oven to 375F / 191C degrees.
- Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add olive oil and butter. When butter melts, add carrots and onions and saute until onions soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Add paprika and vinegar and saute until fragrant, ~1 minute. Add roasted red peppers, tomatoes (including liquid) and stock. Bring to a simmer and allow to simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors come together.
- While soup simmers, place bread onto a sheet pan and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until bread is golden.
- Puree soup until smooth with an immersion blender (like in this video) or transfer to a standing blender in batches. (Using a standing blender will yield a more smooth, creamy soup.) Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve soup with a spoonful of yogurt on top of each bowl and with garlic bread on the side. Enjoy!

it was so good! perfect for a chilly night. I bumped up the seasonings a bit more and actually blended the greek yogurt into the soup for a creamier recipe.
I added baked spiced garbanzo beans for protein and added garlic.
Had to add garlic, basil, salt, and pepper to the soup to make it a little more flavorful. Otherwise it was good. Also, made grilled cheese rather than garlic bread to make it more of a dinner.
Super easy to make and delicious hot or cold!
Delicious! Next time I'll broil the bread instead of baking it. Got a little too crunchy in the oven.
I put a touch too much paprika.. little spicy. Great though.
