 Use ripe tomatoes for this soup. At this time of year, hot-house tomatoes are your best bet – the small, sweet "cocktail tomatoes" have good flavour. Adjust the number of hot peppers to your taste.

Method

Slice garlic head in half crosswise. In roasting pan, toss together garlic halves, tomatoes, onion and 1 tbsp of the oil. Roast in 450°F (230°C) oven, turning onion and garlic halfway through, for 40 minutes.

Let cool until warm; scrape into blender. Pour 1 cup water into roasting pan; with wooden spoon, stir and scrape up brown bits. Pour into blender; purée.

Meanwhile, reserving shells, peel and devein shrimp; slice each in half lengthwise. Set aside.

In large saucepan, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat; sauté hot peppers, chopped cilantro, celery, garlic, chipotle peppers, cumin and pepper for 3 minutes. Stir in shrimp shells; sauté until shells are pink.

Stir in clam juice, roasted tomato mixture, 3 cups water, oregano and salt; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Strain through fine sieve into clean saucepan, pressing solids to extract juices.
