NOTES

Depending on your preference, select the type of smoked paprika you desire. If you like spicy dishes, opt for strong paprika, if not, use mild paprika instead. Remember that cooking this spice greatly enhances its flavor.
If this is your first time roasting peppers in the oven, it might seem strange to you to purposely 'burn' the peppers. Know that this step is essential to be able to remove the skin easily before transforming everything into a smooth and delicious soup.
