You may think to use eggplant in soup? But I will tell you that is a very good idea. The eggplant is super versatile, but we don't do much with it. This vegetable is regularly on the table here and in all kinds of different forms. So this time processed in a soup. We're going to work with the oven to grill the eggplant first. We don't throw anything away and that's how this spicy grilled eggplant recipe paprika soup was born.
In any case, I often grill my vegetables first before putting them in the soup pot. Make the vegetables nice and soft and the spices will bake nicely with the vegetables. I'm repeating myself, but this time too I used leftovers from the fridge. A few peppers that really had to be used, carrots that were left over. And the eggplant that had been lying just too long.
Spicy grilled eggplant paprika soup
I have been cooking for my mother-in-law for several years now. A kind of table setting, so I often make soup for her. I then freeze bags per portion that they only have to warm up. Little effort, big fun. This way I don't have to throw anything away, and I can help her eat healthy.
Eggplants are also super healthy because they are full of fiber and vitamins. The violets on the soup are nice for the photo but also edible! Buy a bag of seeds for edible flowers. With that you can spice up your meals, and you can eat them too.
Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the dish below.

recipe Spicy grilled eggplant pepper soup
Hi,
I have a question?
The soup doesn't color very orange for me. My soup turns light brown.
I only used the skin of the aubergine and discarded the filling. Did I do that right?
Have the vegetables grilled under the grill in the oven instead of the oven at 200 degrees and then heat the vegetables on the baking tray. Maybe that's what it's all about. I'd like to know if I've done something wrong.
Greetings Jeanine
Hi Jeanine, throw away the peel, you only use the pulp. The deep purple color of eggplant turns brown when you bake it. (My photos are slightly brightened because I post-process them in Lightroom to get a nice clear food photo, so your soup may be slightly darker. But with me it wasn't brown anyway.) Hope that I helped you so much. Gr Francine
Very tasty soup
