Instructions
1 Roast all of the veges apart from the onions, with their skins on. Take out of the oven and let cool. Skin all the veges and dice roughly.
2 In a large saucepan, cook the onions until they begin caramelising. Add 1 cup of water and the paprika and once simmering, add the roasted veges (keep on all the charcoal coloured bits for a great flavour).
3 Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste and add another 1/2 cup water. Heat through and allow to simmer for 1 hour until it turns a deep golden red. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve, or purée for a smoother texture. Add a dollop of light sour cream.

HFG tip
Hannah says: "This soup can either be made as a thick soup or a tagine, depending on whether it is blended and how much water is added. A stick blender will come in handy with this recipe for a smooth soup."
