Transfer the remaining salsa verde to a clean, airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • 2To make the roasted tomato and pepper soup, preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a roasting pan with parchment paper.
  • 3Put the tomatoes, peppers, onion and garlic in the pan. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss lightly to coat. Roast for 40-45 minutes, until lightly colored and softened. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
  • 4Using tongs, transfer the roasted vegetables to the blender. Add the stock and tomato paste. Secure the lid. Blend on the SOUP program until the program finishes.
  • 5Add the basil and secure lid. PUREE for 30 seconds or until the soup is smooth. Pour into a saucepan. Stir over medium heat until hot. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 6Divide the soup among serving bowls. Top with the salsa verde and garnish with baby herbs.
    Tip: Serve Salsa Verde on top of soups or serve over grilled or pan-fried meats, poultry, seafood or roasted vegetables. Mix unused Salsa Verde with lemon juice or mayonnaise and use as a dressing for potato salad.
