Roasted Tomato and Red Pepper Bisque with Burrata and Garlic Tostada

Roasted Tomato and Red Pepper Bisque with Burrata and Garlic Tostada

Homemade roasted tomato and pepper soup with fresh tomatoes, garlic, olive oil. basil and caramelized onions. Delicious, flavorful and the best way to use up tomatoes! The tomatoes, peppers, garlic and basil roast in the oven, but the rest of the bisque comes together in one pot with the help of an immersion blender, making this soup a fairly easy endeavor. Best thing about this soup is that is vegan friendly. If you want to keep this soup vegan, just omit the Burrata.
