About

I am a soup kind of mood lately, but when you purchase way too many avocados and they all are ripe at the same time, creativity comes on hand. This is my creation and with an handful of ingredients and no more than 20 minutes of cooking time, you will have an elegant soup that can be served chilled in the summer months and warm in the cooler months.
