I had a few cookbooks lying around in the living room and one of them was ‘Supper for a Song’ by Tamasin Day Lewis. It was from this book that I was inspired to make the Tomato and Chilli Jam, Pineapple Chilli Jam and also the Chocolate Chilli Custards. Hmm bit of a theme here? Not all of that is Tamasin’s idea as she didn’t have chilli in her Chocolate Custard!

such a lovely soup… I bet the smoked paprika really zings it up!…
Karen S Booth says
I love soup and also pimenton too….this looks great for the cold weather we are having!

Looks a fab soup. I very often make chickpea and chorizo soups or stews so I imagine this is fairly similar and I would love it.
LDH says
This would make the soup lover in me happy! Do you have an idea how much '8-10 ladlefuls vegetable stock' is? My ladle is about 1/2 cup but I do have different size ladles. I am thinking 4-6 cups but since this recipe serves 4 maybe it is 2-3 cups?
Janice says
Lorraine, I think my ladle is probably just under a cup. The measure was suggested in the recipe and seemed to work well in the recipe, next time I make it I'll measure the liquid to make it easier. I have to say that it would probably serve 6 as part of a meal.
Donkey says
What a scrummy soup. I love chickpea and smoked and hot paprika and can't wait to try this out
Brownieville Girl says
Hardy, delicious soup – perfect for the cold weather.
I'm a big TDL fan, but don't have this book – is it worth buying?
Janice says
Brownieville Girl – yes, definitely worth buying.
Corina says
This is exactly the type of soup I love. It sounds lovely and warming.

Soup looks great Janice.
I have the hot smoked paprika (from a large Sainsburys) but found the sweet one impossible to track down in any of the main UK supermarkets (this was only earlier this year). Where did you find it!
Thank you

Drooling!!! This looks so good – a comforting, warming soup with a bit of a kick – just perfect!
Thank you so much for taking part in this months Sweet Heat Challenge! I can't wait to try this : )
Janice says
Hopeeternalcookbook – My son bought both of the tins of pimenton from Harvey Nichols food hall v. posh! However you can get it on Amazon for £6.99 HERE
Jacqueline says
I am loving this soup Janice. Soup great flavours. I must give it a go soon 🙂
Shaheen says
So funny 🙂 I made a variation of this soup at the weekend, sadly I cannot submit it to Tinned Tomatoes as it was not random.
