BONNELL'S ROASTED TOMATO AND JALAPENO SOUP

Steps:

• Slice the jalapenos in half and remove the white veins and seeds.
• Grill the tomatoes, jalapenos and onion until well charred on the outsides.
• In a large soup pot, simmer the onions, tomatoes, jalapenos and garlic with a touch of olive oil for 1-2 hours.

• Optional: Garnish the top with a little lime-flavored sour cream and chopped cilantro.

CREAMY ROASTED JALAPENO SOUP

Steps:

• In a heavy-bottomed pot over medium high heat, melt butter. When foaming, add onion, garlic and bell pepper and saute until softened, about 8 minutes.
• Stir in flour to make a roux (flour/fat paste). Stir for about 3 minutes, or until all flour is incorporated and mixture has turned a light brown.
• Mix in stock and cream. Increase heat and bring to boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in jalapenos and cook for a minute. Blend mixture, either in a regular blender and returning to the pot, or right in the pot with a stick blender.
• Add cheese to soup and stir until melted. Add salt to taste (always taste first!), then add freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir well.
• Serves 8. Garnish each bowl with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper. Enjoy!

SPICY TOMATO JALAPENO SOUP

Steps:

• Puree 2 cans of tomatoes in a blender (leave one with the juice, and the other drained).
• In a heavy large pot or saucepan saute the onion, garlic, chile pepper and fresh ginger until onion is softened (about 6 minutes).
• Add in cumin; cook stirring 1 minute.
• Stir in pureed tomatoes, broth, 1 tablespoon sugar and 2 teaspoons salt; simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally for 30-40 minutes.
• At this point you may refrigerate and puree the following day, or cool the mixture slightly then blend in a blender until smooth (be careful when blending hot liquids!).
• Force the liquid over a sieve to remove any seeds.
• If needed heat the soup.
• Ladle into bowls and drizzle with whipping cream.
• Delicious!
