Ingredients required
To make this vegan tomato soup you need only a handful of basic ingredients:

- Red onion
- Garlic cloves
- Olive oil
- Vegetable stock
- Salt
- Pepper
- Dried/ fresh basil
- Dried/ fresh thyme
For garnishing, you can choose whatever you like. My favorite garnishing for every type of tomato soup is crouton. Other than that I have also used slightly toasted black seeds and chopped coriander leaves as that's my favorite herb. You can use your favorite herbs like basil, parsley, etc.
How to store?
This bell pepper and tomato soup freezes well so if you want to store it for colder days just put them in freezer-proof jars and freeze. It will be fine for 4-5 months.
Instead of putting the whole soup in one large container, it's better to put it in separate smaller jars so that you heat only the amount you need to consume.
Recipe tips & tricks
