This soup is absolutely fantastic! The heat from the pepper, the creaminess of the avocado and just the taste of the whole creation is excellent! I made this as directed with the exception of adding the avocado after putting the soup in the bowl. I will absolutely make this again! Made for ZWT7. Thanks Andi! :)
