• Stir in chicken broth and Mexican hot sauce to taste.
• Simmer another few minutes.
• Add more salt to taste (if necessary).
• Stir in blue cheese until all melted.
• Cool soup and puree in a blender. If the soup is too warm the steam will build up in the blender and explode.

• Stirring in the cream is the final step before serving as the cream can curdle if added too early.

SMOKED TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Scatter wood chips in a medium cast iron skillet and heat over high until chips begin to smoke, about 5 minutes. Cut a 24" sheet of heavy-duty foil and fold in half to make a large square. Fold in half twice more to make a small, thick square. Carefully place over chips and set 5 tomato halves, cut sides up, on top; remove skillet from heat. Cover with foil and top with another medium skillet. Let tomatoes sit until barely softened and smoky, 5-8 minutes. Transfer tomatoes to a plate and let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, chop remaining tomatoes. Heat oil in a large pot over medium and cook onion and leek, stirring occasionally, until tender but not yet taking on any color, 8-10 minutes. Stir in garlic, bay leaves, coriander seeds, and horseradish and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add chopped tomatoes and broth, increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover pot, and simmer until tomatoes are soft, 35-45 minutes. Let cool slightly; discard bay leaves.
• Working in batches if needed, blend tomato mixture, smoked tomatoes, and butter in a blender until smooth. Strain soup through a medium-mesh sieve into a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or room temperature topped with basil.
