Yum, yum, spicy tomato soup

My spicy tomato soup – butter, 1 small chilli, 1 clove of garlic, 1 chopped onion, half teaspoon paprika, 5 peppercorns, 100g tomato paste, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 cup of vegetable stock, 1 bouquet garni, 6 larger tomatoes, 1 red pepper, fresh parsley, fresh basil.
Melt the butter in a pan. Add the chilli, garlic, onion, paprika and peppercorns. When the onions are brown and soft, stir in the tomato paste and sugar. Add the stock. Bring to boil. Add the quartered tomatoes, chopped red pepper, bouquet garni and fresh herbs. Simmer for half an hour. Remove bouquet garni. Blend. Serve with crusty garlic bread. Yum-yum!
