If you’re staying in and want a meal that’s fresh and fast to make but still a bit of a treat, you don’t need to look any further than this tomato, red pepper and coriander soup with nachos recipe.
The soup itself is fairly healthy and packed full of veg, and it doubles up as a delicious salsa for the cheesy, crispy nachos. This is a seriously easy dish to do if you’re feeding a crowd, just put a big dish of nachos in the middle of the table and let everyone help themselves. Just make sure the cheesiest bit is next to you!
The soup and nachos are ready in 15 minutes flat, making this the perfect quick meal for a weeknight. The soup can be made ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen too (make your nachos fresh, though).

Tomato, Red Pepper and Coriander Soup with Nachos – The Ingredients
- Plain tortilla chips – you’ll need to use ones labelled ‘plain’ or ‘lightly salted’ – don’t use flavoured ones. You could also make your own!
- Cheddar cheese – any good melting cheese (e.g. grated mozzarella) would work well as a substitute.
- Dried chilli flakes – you can use as much or as little as you like. Spice fiend? Go wild! Prefer it mild? Leave them off.
- Spring onions – add a nice freshness to the soup. You could sub for white onion. Just peel and roughly chop.
- Coriander – you need a big handful of fresh coriander for this recipe. If you’re not a fan of coriander, this probably isn’t the soup for you!
- Roasted red peppers – a jar of roasted red peppers make this a super easy and quick soup to make. You can use a jar of roasted red peppers in either vinegar or oil – both will work. You could also roast your own peppers and use those.
- Chopped tomatoes – you could also sub for tins of whole tomatoes in juice, because you’ll be blending the soup afterwards. Passata would also work for a more intense tomato flavour.
- Feta – for topping, this is optional.
Cooking the Soup
This is a really easy and quick one to put together. Here are my tips;
- Don’t worry about chopping the spring onions, coriander etc. too small because you’ll be blending the soup. Just throw them in!
- Keep a close eye on the nachos to make sure they don’t burn. You can cook them in the oven or under the grill.
- You can make the soup in advance. It’s also great for freezing!
