Roasted Tomato and Paprika Soup
I love tomato soup and I really love tomato soup with red peppers. This recipe was really easy; quarter and roast a bunch of tomatoes, a couple red peppers, an onion and some garlic. When the veggies are starting to collapse and release their juices they get pureed with some vegetable stock, seasoning, and one of my new favorite ingredients, sweet smoked paprika. I’ve been cooking a bit lately with Crazy Water Pickled Lemons by Diana Henry. The cookbook is full of interesting recipes from the middle east. I’m not too familiar with the spices and flavour combinations used but I certainly am glad I stumbled upon smoked paprika. I was pleased to see it was used in this recipe in Super Natural Cooking and the recipe just looked too simple and tasty to pass up.
And now I have a confession. I alone ate the whole pot in one day! A bowl or two for lunch, a bowl or two for dinner, and another an hour or so later. Yum!!
