Reviews
It sounds delicious but is it 2 small,medium or large onions?
Made this soup yesterday and it turned out very well! I only used one onion instead of two, a little extra chipotle pepper and a little less sour cream. Also, my boyfriend made a roasted corn and black bean salsa that I used as a garnish.
It makes a good amount, not too much where you end up throwing it away.
Easy to make and outstanding … and very few people have eaten avocado soup !
The preparation was easy and I had all of the ingredients on hand which is always nice. The texture was creamy and nice. I added extra adobe sauce from the chilies and a little red pepper to give it an underlining heat. It was yummy hot and I am going to try it cold for lunch today. Maybe serve in shot glasses with a little chopped shrimp and cilantro on top for an appetizer?
Extremely flavorful and very easy to make with a few simple to find ingredients.
I didn’t know what to expect with this soup since I had never had it before but it was a delight to eat.
