  • 600 ml vegetable stock cooled
  • ½-1 tbsp chipotle paste (depending on how hot you like it)

  • Put the tomatoes, tomato purée, garlic and ginger in a blender or food processor with the stock and whizz until smooth. Pour into a large pan and add the chipotle, ¾ of the coriander, green pepper, most of the chilli and seasoning.
