Use a smoker to slightly smoke tomatoes for 4 - 5 minutes. (Do not over smoke or tomatoes will lose natural flavor.) Dice tomatoes and reserve.
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 chicken base and add it to the tomatoes. Add the fire-roasted jalapeno concentrate, sugar and cumin. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Use high powered blender (or stick blender) to puree the soup.
Use whisk to emulsify the butter into the soup. Season to taste.
