Dana Ewart and Cameron Smith, chefs and caterers in Canada's Okanagan Valley, in British Columbia, are helping shape a new regional cuisine for this up-and-coming wine region. This simple, delicious soup, mainly based on the valley's excellent tomatoes, is from one of their regular summer dinners at God's Mountain Estate, a vineyard and B&B near Penticton.
