- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange halved red bell peppers on a baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and sprinkle with salt.

- Once peppers are roasted, cool slightly, peel off skins, and add them to the pot with sautéed onions and garlic along with the vegetable broth.
