- Place peppers on grill pan, cut side down. Drizzle with olive oil, sea salt and garlic. Grill or roast on high heat until the skin blackens, about 20-30 minutes. Cover with a tea towel or plastic bag until cool. Once cool, peel off charred skin.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large stock pot. Saute onions until soft, about 5 minutes, then add ginger. Stir in carrots and tomatoes.
- After 10 minutes, add Tom Yum paste and stock. Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Add peppers, garlic and any juices from grill pan to stock pot. When cooled a little, liquidise everything to a thick puree.
- Add coconut cream. Adjust seasonings to taste. Sprinkle with fresh coriander, if desired.
