Working in batches, in a blender or food processor combine tomatoes, peppers, broth, onion, and basil. Cover and blend or process until smooth. Transfer all of the pureed mixture to a large saucepan.


Cook over medium 5 to 6 minutes or until heated through. Stir in cream and honey. If desired, top servings with Grilled Cheese Croutons and additional basil. Serve warm (see Tip).


I substituted the red sweet peppers for red bell peppers thinking they would be the same thing (and I still don't know if they are or not), but the soup ended up tasting heavily of bell peppers instead of tomatoes. Easy to make and a great bell pepper soup but not a great tomato soup. Next time I would use less bell peppers.
