Trader Joe's Organic Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper Soup, 946mL

Making soup from scratch is a lovely, romantic notion. In theory. In practice, it gets a little more complicated. It generally involves spending long hours in the kitchen, plenty of chopping and dicing, copious amounts of stirring, and did we mention long hours standing in the kitchen? If you have the time on your hands, we’re all for homemade. We love homemade. But if, like us, you don’t always have the time, we have some homey fully- cooked-and-ready-to-heat soups that will warm you inside and out.

One of our favorites is TJ's Organic Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper Soup. It’s a velvety smooth concoction with a subtle tomato base. Its depth of character comes from the flavourful spices and the slightly sweet finish is courtesy of the roasted red bell peppers. You can serve it as is, or add big chunks of veggies and some beans to make it even heartier. A dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche never hurts either...
