Smoked paprika gives this appetizer its compelling flavour. This easy first course has complex flavours thanks to a combination of cumin, coriander, fennel and cinnamon. The mint garnish gives this shooter a refreshing finish. Make the soup the night before your event and put into small shots 30 minutes before your event. Great as passed hors d'oeuvres, these vibrant shots can also add interest and height to a vegetable platter.
