This soup is perfect for a cozy night in, and it's also a great way to use up ripe tomatoes and red bell peppers. The roasting process gives the vegetables a deep, rich flavor that pairs perfectly with the cream. You can adjust the amount of cream to your liking, or even use a dairy-free alternative like coconut cream if you prefer.
For a heartier meal, you can serve this soup with some crusty bread and melted cheese on top. The bread will soak up the soup and the cheese will add a delicious savory note. You can also sprinkle some chopped parsley or basil on top for a pop of color and freshness.
If you're looking for a lighter option, you can serve this soup with some crackers on the side. You can choose your favorite type of crackers and top them with some cheese and tomato slices for a simple yet delicious accompaniment.
