SWMBO just loves tomato soup, and since I'm hoping to scratch my MCS itch soon, I'm trying to keep her quite happy and fulfill this request! But I want to make sure I understand something about his smoked tomato soup recipe before I jack it up...
The recipe method says he likes to smoke the ingredients at 225F for about 30 min. The recipe ingredients say to start with a double batch of his grilled marinara sauce. But the marinara sauce recipe says to grill the ingredients at medium hot until grill marks are achieved. I'm guessing I ignore that grilling part of the marinara recipe, and instead ONLY smoke the ingredients? Then continue on with the marinara recipe, and when complete move on to Step 2 of the tomato soup method?
Any suggestions as to type of wood for smoking? I'll be doing this on a kettle, wondering if briquettes are going to provide enough smoke. I have some pecan and apple chunks on the lighter side of things I could toss on.
Any help or tips are much appreciated. Thanks!
