Chilled Smoked Tomato-Jalapeno Soup

Use a smoker to lightly smoke the tomatoes. Four to five minutes of smoking will give the tomatoes enough flavor. DO NOT over smoke the tomatoes or their natural flavor will be masked. Dice and reserve tomatoes.

In a heavy bottomed soup pot, heat olive oil on medium high heat. Add the onions and sweat for 3-5 minutes. Add the coriander, garlic, and bay leaf. Continue to sweat for 3 minutes.

Combine the water and the Chicken Base and add it to the pot along with the tomatoes, Fire Roasted Jalapeño Flavor Concentrate, sugar, and cumin. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Use a high power blender to puree the soup. If no high power blender is available, the soup should be strained through a large hole strainer after blending.

Use a whisk to emulsify the butter in the soup. Season to taste.
