Treat your ingredients with care...
- Avocados — Choose ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure when squeezed. To prevent browning, add a squeeze of lime juice to the avocados while blending.
- Jalapeno pepper — Adjust the amount of jalapeno according to your spice preference. For a milder soup, remove the seeds and membranes before chopping.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra burst of freshness, add a squeeze of lime juice just before serving.
- To make the soup even creamier, add a dollop of sour cream or coconut cream on top.
- Customize the garnish by adding sliced radishes, diced avocado, or a sprinkle of crumbled queso fresco.
- If you prefer a spicier soup, leave the seeds and membranes in the jalapeno pepper.
- To make the soup ahead of time, prepare the base and refrigerate. Add the garnish just before serving.
