Ingredients

hummus 300 g, packaged

roasted red peppers (with juice) 450 g, canned

fresh cilantro (reserve some for garnish) small handful

smoked paprika (or freshly ground black pepper) 1/2 tsp

feta cheese 200 g (7 oz)

Instructions

Make the soup base

In a large deep saucepan, mix the hummus with twice its volume of warm water (measure using a kettle container). Chop the red peppers and add them to the pan along with their juice. Add most of the cilantro (reserving some for garnish) and stir well. Bring to a boil, then partially cover and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes until very hot.

Blend and serve

Transfer the contents of the pan to a blender, add the paprika or pepper, and blend until smooth. Pour back into the pan and reheat for 2 minutes. Ladle into bowls, placing 2 strips of feta cheese and a sprig of cilantro in each bowl. Serve hot. Can also be served cold after chilling.
