  This soup was super easy to make and very tasty. It was quite spicy so I ate it with some wholewheat bread and it was delicious! Will definitely be making it again!

  Goes well with http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/681654/cornbread-muffins and I only used 500 mls of stock which was plenty to create a tinned tom soup consistency. Also, as I had the oven on for the cornbread muffins, I thought I would roast the peppers instead for a more intense flavour. My 10 month old son and I loved both for lunch. Super healthy, must be 3 of your 5 a day in 1 meal!

  Very, very nice indeed. Next time, I'll grate the cucumber a little more finely, but a really tasty soup. Brilliant!

  Used dried herbs and chilli flakes instead of fresh chilli so it was less spicy. I also roasted the veg including a stick of celery and a fresh tomato instead of cooking in the pan as I think the flavours develop more. Ketchup is always a good addition if you don't have stock. Served warm with a different version of tzaziki which was made with extra garlic and red wine vinegar. Really tasty and full of goodness.

  tried this recipe out last weekend, I left out the cucumber yoghurt and served it with home made wheaten bread. It was delicious, had my daughter and her family over for dinner too and was finished by all including her 3 year old daughter. Comments from all, Yummy, very much worth making it.

  Very tasty soup with a little warm glow provided via the chillies. Very easy to make, in fact you'll be hard pushed to find a simpler recipe.

  Very easy recipe to follow and good to add whatever ingredients you like - super tasty. I added chopped sellery, some olives and oven roasted red peppers into the mix. That added to the taste. I skipped the cucumber yogurt and instead topped the soup with graded parmesan cheese and oregano. A tsp of creme fraiche is also really good to round it up. My favourite soup now.

  This is the best soup I've ever tasted! It was fast and easy to make and I wouldn't change anything. The consistency was perfect and it tasted even better after a day or two. I used plain natural yogurt with the cucumber and it was just as delicious. It's hard to believe it's so low in calories. I'm looking forward to making it again on a chilly dark evening.

  Really nice soup. I roasted the veg in chilli oil as I had the oven on anyway and added a little chilli flakes to taste as didn't have any fresh. Also added some pinto beans and pasta after I blitzed it up, like my soup with bits in it. Don't know why I ever bought tinned soup when it is so simple to make, tastes much better and you know whats in it.

  I did as some others have done and roasted the peppers in chilli oil. I also made the following alterations: Only added 500ml stock (1 stock pot) Added dried chilli flakes Added chilli powder Added tsp sugar Added tomato puree All in all this soup is very nice, for a healthy (and carb free) 'fill me up'. Next time I will add another red chilli
