Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Cut the red bell peppers in half, remove the seeds, and place them on a baking sheet, cut side down. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
3. Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the skins are blistered and charred.
4. While the peppers are roasting, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.

6. Add the chopped peppers to the pot with the onions and garlic, then pour in the vegetable broth. Stir in the cumin and paprika.
7. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
