• Cut tomatoes into quarters. Place them along with the chiles, cumin seeds and the broth used for soaking and the garlic in a blender and blend until just coarsely chopped. If necessary, add a touch more broth and continue to blend until smooth. If you like it hot, add another pepper and allow to simmer - remove before straining.
• Using a strainer, strain tomato mixture into the sauce pan or pot with broth. Season with salt and pepper and allow to simmer (never boil) for about 20 minutes. Taste for seasoning and heat.
