- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C. Halve the bell peppers, seed and trim them and lay out on a non-stick baking tray or a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Roast until softened and charred, for around 25 minutes. Wait for them to cool down before carefully removing the skin.

- To a blender, add the tomatoes, roasted peppers, the cooked vegetables, vegan cream, nutritional yeast, tamari, balsamic vinegar, cumin, paprika, salt, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
- Transfer the soup to a large pot over a medium heat and stir to heat through for around 5 minutes before serving with a few swirls of vegan cream, fresh herbs and crusty bread.
