1. In a medium sized saucepan, place over medium heat and add the oil, onions, garlic, chopped chilli and carrot.

3. To this, add the tomato puree, chopped tomatoes, paprika & vegetable stock.
4. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
5. While the soup is cooking, in a pan cook the chopped chorizo in a little oil until crispy and set aside.
6. Once the vegetables are soft, using the Kenwood hand blender, blitz the tomato soup base for 20 seconds until smooth.
7. Return to the heat and add the pasta, butterbeans, sugar & crispy chorizo.
