Notes
Tip: For an extra kick, consider blending in a jalapeño or a bit of cayenne pepper for heat.
For a creamier texture, use ripe avocados that are perfectly soft. You can adjust the citrus flavors by adding more lime or orange juice based on your taste preference. If you want to elevate the dish, consider topping with microgreens or edible flowers for a stunning presentation.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir well before serving again, as the soup may thicken when chilled.
