The best thing about this soup is that it takes everything good about chilli con carne - and turns it into something lighter and faster, but no less satisfying.

Ingredients

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 300g minced beef

  • 1 tsp ground coriander

  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • good pinch of cayenne

  • 1 tsp ground paprika

  • 1 red capsicum, finely chopped

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and cook the onion until soft. Add the beef, coriander, cumin, cayenne and paprika, and brown well, stirring.

    Add the capsicum, oregano, tomato juice, tomatoes, stock, salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, stirring, then simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.
