Every time this soup gets served, people are demanding the recipe – it’s fantastically delicious and easy to make, once you have all the ingredients. What makes this soup taste so delicious is the lime, cilantro, and avocado; as an added bonus, it has “hidden” vegetables for your kids. MAKE EXTRA – you’ll want it for leftovers, for sure! – Dr. Paul
