To garnish:
Preparation
Step 1
Put the peppers, garlic, onion, stock, tomato juice, sugar and soy sauce in a pan and bring to the boil.
Step 2
Lower the heat, cover the pan and simmer gently for 1 hour.
Step 3
Liquidise the soup in batches until smooth.
Step 4
Season with freshly ground black pepper and stir in the basil and vodka.
Step 5
Serve immediately or reheat when needed, garnishing each serving with a teaspoonful of soured cream and a scattering of finely diced tomato and some small basil leaves.
Tip:
Making the soup in advance will allow its rich flavours to develop. If the peppers are very large, the finished soup may need thinning to the desired consistency with a little extra stock or water.
