blog recipe #8 of 365

Hi everyone!!! Tonite, I made avocado soup, with additional ingredients.  When I first made this, it turned out a little bland so I spiced it up a little with lime and cayenne.  That worked out much better!! Feel free to add in any other veggies you think my be awesome to amp the flavor!!
