    Easy Vegetarian Soup Made Fast

    Have you had roasted red pepper soup before? The first time I had this sweet, slightly smoky soup, I was hooked. It is a relatively simple soup and roasting the peppers gives a sweetness and depth of flavour you just can't get anywhere else. But...roasting and peeling peppers is messy and time consuming so I didn't make it very often until now.

    Sardo-Canadian Whole Prepared Foods

    I partnered with Canadian company, Sardo Foods, to highlight some of their delicious deli products made with quality Mediterranean ingredients and recipes that are made in Canada. Sardo is a perfect fit with my mission of whole foods. While these are ready to eat, they are made of real, wholesome and healthy foods with no unnecessary chemicals or unpronounceable ingredients. The folks at Sardo shipped me delicious olives, feta stuffed red jalapenos (my family is going crazy for these spicy tapas), Greek salad loaded with feta cheese, artichokes and fire roasted sweet peppers.

    Kitchen Hack-Roasted Peppers

    Well, as soon as I saw the roasted peppers, I knew exactly what I wanted to use them for, Roasted Red Pepper Soup. Instead of an hour or longer, this recipe is made in 30 minutes or less and half that time is just simmering the vegetables until soft enough. Just a few simple ingredients make a soup that tastes rich, warm, satisfying and hearty.

    Easy Meal Ideas Make Routines Easy To Stick To

    This month, I am highlighting easy weeknight meal ideas as we prepare for September's renewed routines. Sweet pepper soup fits that to a T. Simply pair it with some crusty bread and/or a quick salad and you have a fast, easy vegetarian dinner. Leftovers are perfect for packed lunches. You could also serve this with a sandwich. I've included my super delicious Artichoke Grilled Cheese Panini recipe using Sardo's marinated artichokes. Grilled panini is another easy weeknight meal that's easily customized for kids or picky eaters.

    Quinoa Greek Salad for Lunch or Dinner

    Another quick and tasty recipe I did last week was simply tossing Sardo Greek salad with 2 cups of cooked quinoa. It was perfect as a side and as my work lunch the next day. Quinoa and feta cheese made this a high protein meal that kept me satisfied all afternoon. This Greek salad tastes fresh and vibrant and made the BEST quinoa salad in mere seconds!

    Why Buy Roasted Sweet Peppers?

    I don't often partner with companies because I encourage simplicity with whole foods but these are truly awesome fridge and pantry staples. Working 4 days a week at our local hospital, running kids around to daycare, school and activities, spending time with my husband, running my blog and freelance photography and writing keeps me busy. Admittedly, I like to keep busy so it works for me but it doesn't mean I don't get tired. I can relate if you are a busy mom, wife, worker or all of the above. I know that shortcuts can be a lifesaver so that we don't always turn to takeout. Who can relate? How many different hats do you wear?

    Meal Makers At The Ready

    Sardo's deli products have long best before dates so I can keep a stock in my fridge and their jarred products can be stored in the pantry until opened. Having a selection of these on hand means I have the makings of a fast and healthy dinner or some appetizers to go with an impromptu evening of friends and family. In Western Canada, you can find them at Sobey's (Superstore, Thrifty's etc.) and on Amazon.

    Cheers to all of you out there who are choosing healthy and doing the best you can for yourself and your family 🙂

    Grilled Cheese and Artichoke Panini with Sardo Artichokes

    Grilled Artichoke and Cheese Panini

    This is such a simple recipe, it doesn't even really qualify as a recipe! Panini's are a fun and easy elevated grilled cheese that is easy to customize for picky eaters. My whole family loves panini night!
    I've used Sardo's prepared artichoke hearts for these because they have a fresh and vibrant flavour and are the star of this sandwich.

    • 4 Panini Buns, cut in half horizontally
    • 6 oz Cheese-I used Brie for the adults and Havarti for the kids 2 large slices of havarti or other cheese per sandwich

    • Optional add ins: Sardo kalamata pesto, ham, prosciutto,

    Instructions

    • Lay out bottom 4 panini halves and put 1 layer of chosen cheese on each. Top with artichokes, ¼-1/2 c of spinach and any optional add ins. Add another layer of cheese and season to taste. Cheese and artichokes are salty so I only added pepper.

    • Put panini's in a large cast iron or non stick pan, add top half of bun and put a dinner plate on top to weight down gently. Turn heat on to medium. Once heated and becoming toasty and melty (about 8-10 minutes), flip sandwiches over, put plate back on top and grill 5 more minutes or until nicely toasted.

      Very cool that you can buy roasted peppers in a jar! I can so relate to being in a rush to make a meal when you don’t feel like cooking but don’t want to do a take out.

        Yes! Roasted peppers in the jar are such a time saver! I use them in roasted veg salad with goat cheese, grilled paninis and of course this soup. Thanks for reading along 🙂

      Oh can I relate! My life is very similar but my kids are a little older now so instead of daycare it's evening activities! Thank you for introducing me to these roasted red peppers. I've used Mezzetta for years, but I'd much rather use a whole food natural Canadian company ! I will look for them! This soup looks amazing too - beautiful shots as always!

        Thank you Terri! I agree with you 100% on supporting Canadian companies and it's easy when the quality is so good. Cheers!
