Soup

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, diced

500g carrots, peeled and sliced

1 tin cherry tomatoes

1 clove garlic

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 tsp smoked paprika

500 ml chicken stock

2 tbsp creme fraiche, or natural yoghurt

salt and pepper

Gently cook the onions, carrots, garlic and cumin seeds in the olive oil for 10-15 mins until soft.
Add the smoked paprika and cook for a further minute.
Add the tomatoes and stock and simmer for 5 mins until the carrots are cooked though. Season to taste with salt and pepper and allow to cool slightly.
Whizz the soup in a blender until smooth (and pass through a sieve if you like it really smooth)
Reheat and stir through creme fraiche or yoghurt (you could add a pinch of chilli flakes if that's your vibe!)
