Soup - the ultimate winter warmer! This flavour combo is an absolute favourite, packed with sweet red peppers, juicy tomatoes, and sweet potatoes to add that extra thickness and creaminess.

Ingredients:

Makes: 3-4 portions

• 2 red bell peppers

• 6 large vine plum tomatoes

• 1 large sweet potato, peeled

• 1 red onion

• 2 large garlic cloves

• 450ml veg stock (approx.)

• Olive oil

• 1 tbsp smoked paprika

• A handful of fresh basil, finely chopped

• Salt & pepper

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200C.

2. Slice the sweet potato, pepper and red onion into medium sized chunks and place onto a large baking tray.

3. Add the tomatoes and garlic cloves, both whole, and generously toss with olive oil, salt and pepper - roast in the oven for about 30mins.

4. Remove the veg from the oven and transfer everything into a large, deep frying pan. Bring to a medium-high heat and add the veg stock, paprika and chopped basil. Bring to the boil and reduce to a simmer for 5 mins until fully softened. Season to taste.

5. Blitz everything together until silky smooth and serve!

Serving suggestion: Top with some cracked black pepper, fresh basil and serve with crispy croutons!
