Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
- 2 roasted red capsicums (bell peppers), chopped
- 500 milliliters vegetable stock
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
- 5 fresh basil leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion turns translucent.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes and the chopped roasted capsicums. Cook for 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Season with smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and sugar (if using). Mix well to combine.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot or transfer it to a countertop blender and blend until smooth. Be cautious with hot liquids if using a blender.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes if the soup is too thick, adding a splash of stock or water to thin it to your desired consistency.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired.
