Get cooking

 
  1. Put a ring/hob on a medium heat
  2. Add a little olive oil over the vegetables then fry on a medium heat.
  3. Add salt and pepper, then add 1 heaped teaspoon of ground coriander and the same of smoked paprika. Then add a light sprinkle of crushed dried chilli.
  4. Stir occasionally and fry the vegetables in the pan for 5-10m minutes until softened.
  5. Make up 1 litre of vegetable stock then add this to the pan. Stir and make sure that all the splatter on the side of the pan is dissolved in the stock as it holds a lot of the flavour.
  6. Simmer for 10-15 mintes then blend the soup (I use a stick blender). If you are bothered by small pieces of tomato skin the sieve the blended liquid.
  7. Add the finely chopped coriander
  8. Check seasoning and adjust
  9. Serve and enjoy!
