Ingredients
- 200 grams tortilla chips plain
- 70 grams cheddar cheese grated
- 1 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 20 grams spring onions
- 100 grams fresh coriander
- 450 grams roasted red peppers jarred
- 800 grams chopped tomatoes tinned
- 20 grams feta
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius. Pile the tortilla chips into an oven proof dish. Grate the cheese and spread evenly over the top, and sprinkle the chilli flakes on top of the cheese. Put into the oven and cook until golden and crisp (this will take about 10 minutes).
- Meanwhile, slice the spring onions and the stalks of the coriander, and put into a casserole dish or large saucepan with the olive oil. Gently fry over a medium heat for 30 seconds, then tip in the drained red peppers and the chopped tomatoes.
- Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes, then chop the leaves of the coriander and add them to the soup.
- Stir until the coriander is wilted then remove from the heat and blitz with a food processor until smooth.
- Serve in bowls topped with a little crumbled feta and the nachos on the side.

Notes
Variations & Swaps
- Cheese options: Instead of cheddar, use mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or any melt-friendly cheese.
- Pepper source: If you don’t have roasted red peppers in a jar, roast raw red peppers yourself (char, peel, dice) and use those.
- Tomato alternatives: Use passata for a smoother, more intense tomato base, or whole tinned tomatoes if that's what you have.
- Greens twist: Stir in spinach, baby kale or even cooked corn after blitzing for extra texture.
- Make it spicy: Add extra chilli flakes, a dash of smoked paprika, or even a bit of hot sauce at the end.
- No feta? Use crumbled goat’s cheese, or skip cheese entirely and use fresh chopped herbs for brightness.
- Serve differently: Rather than on the side, break chips into smaller pieces and ladle soup over them for a kind of nacho-soup mash.
