Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the onion, red pepper and tomatoes in a large roasting dish and sprinkle with the smoked Spanish paprika, dried chilli flakes, garlic cloves, balsamic vinegar and fresh sage. Drizzle generously with olive oil. Season to taste, toss to coat and roast in the preheated oven, about 40 minutes, tossing occasionally.

Tip the contents of the roasting dish into a large pot, add the hot vegetable stock and blitz with a stick blender until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly, adding a little boiling water if the soup is too thick. Serve hot in bowls topped with chopped almonds, coriander leaves and dollops of harissa.
