  • juice of one lemon
  • 1tbsp of thyme (plus a spare sprig to garnish
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Method

  1. Slice the red peppers and grill for 15 minutes on 200 degrees Celsius, turning half way (be mindful of your oven, if its prone to torching your food then turn down the temperature or turn more frequently.
  2. In a blender, pour in the tin of tomatoes along with all the other ingredients except for the goats cheese and spinach.
  3. Pour the blended mixture into a non-stick pot and let bubble away until piping on a medium-high temperature (this should take no more than 5 minutes). Pour the mixture carefully into bowls. Pop your spinach straight into the pot and let wilt while you crumble goats cheese onto the soups surface.
  4. The spinach should be ready in around a minute, carefully take from the pot and arrange on your soup.
