Add the remaining tomatoes, cucumber, yellow pepper, onion, grape tomatoes, garlic, jalapeño, and cilantro to the work bowl. Pulse to chop, about 25 pulses. Add the paprika, sherry vinegar, bread, cumin, salt, pepper and sugar. Process ingredients for 2 minutes; add the olive oil during the last 10 seconds through the small feed tube. Remove the soup base and place through a fine mesh strainer to strain; continue to press juice through the strainer, using a spatula or the bottom of a ladle, until the mixture is very dry.

Pulse reserved vegetables 6 to 8 times to roughly chop. Add chopped vegetables to the strained broth. Taste and adjust seasonings accordingly; serve.
