Wash and pat dry ,garlic, tomatoes and pepper. Place them in a foil tray, in a single layer and drizzle ½ teaspoon olive oil . Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the tomatoes break into juice and the bell pepper is charred.

Cool and blend in a mixer to smooth consistency. Remove in a sauce pan, add 3 cups of vegetable stock to thin and bring this to a boil. Add the seasoning of salt and lemon pepper. Taste, the soup, it should smooth and not too thick.
