Hi!

I don't know anything about the rotation but I do know that the smoked tomato bisque is always offered on the room service menu at AKL.

So if you can't get down for a meal you can always order one up. It's 4.99 plus the usual service fees.

That soup sounds delicious....but just how do you smoke canned tomatoes?

I want in on this one too, how to smoke the tomatoes??? I have a smoker, so I suppose you could stick the cans in where the meat normally goes,or put them in a pot and do the same thing-I would guess it would pick up the "smoke" flavor..but as for how long-I couldn't guess-cause your not cooking it-I suppose the longer you leave them in the more smoked they would taste.But I'd really love to hear an answer to this. Just a cute story though, my Dad used to invite people over to "smoke" and couldn't figure out why people gave him funny looks...til we explained.He did love to "smoke". We lost him 4 years ago,and so I keep the tradition going.

I've had it at Mara several times.

I wonder if adding a bit of liquid hickory smoke flavor would do?

It seems it would be difficult to smoke canned tomatoes. Unfortunately, the recipe doesn't come with specific directions on this key thing.
