For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially or fully puree the soup after simmering. Be careful when blending hot liquids! If you don't have fire-roasted tomatoes, you can roast regular diced tomatoes in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes to achieve a similar depth of flavor. A pinch of smoked paprika can enhance the smoky flavor profile of the soup. Feel free to adjust the amount of jalapeno peppers based on your preferred level of spiciness. Remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor. The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
