    This vibrant red pepper tomato and kidney bean soup is really tasty! A real feel good vegan and gluten free soup. Low in calories and fat. An excellent source of fibre!

    A bowl of red pepper tomato and kidney bean soup with a dish of basil leaves in the background.

    Folks I just love my soups. But this red pepper tomato and kidney bean soup is something else.

    It's not just a tomato and kidney bean soup. It's a red pepper tomato and kidney bean soup. And the addition of those red peppers make all the difference!

    Those red peppers give this red kidney bean soup a slightly sweetened taste which I know you're just going to love.

    This is delicate and lightly spiced comforting and filling soup. And as a soup with kidney beans it's packed full of fibre too.

    Red pepper tomato and kidney bean soup is an excellent soup for heating you up on a cold winters day. However I think this soup may well become one of your favourites that you enjoy ALL YEAR ROUND!

    Close up view of the bowl of red pepper tomato and kidney bean soup looking delicious.

    Soups are excellent for filling you up at lunchtime (or any other mealtime!). They're crammed full of essential daily vitamins.

    I'll have a different soup almost every lunchtime with one of my home-made wholemeal rolls.

    Changing to a soup for lunch, instead of sandwiches, was one of the main ways I changed my diet and lost 2 stones in weight.

    Not only that this kidney bean soup is much healthier than sandwiches. The kidney beans make this a wonderful red bean soup, plus they're among the best sources of plant based protein.

    Kidney beans are good for our digestive health and help to promote regular bowel movements. They also helps you feel fuller for longer and can assist in preventing some diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.

    Making this kidney bean soup is easy. Soups can be made in bulk and stored in your freezer in individual portions, until required.

    If you're not already making your own soup give it a try!

    Not only will you know exactly what you're eating. Save yourself some calories and get the right nutrients you need, but you'll save yourself some money too!

    This vibrant kidney bean soup is just one of my many soup recipes.
