My boyfriend and I eat this all the time - it's so good! I use homemade chicken stock which has a lot more flavor than store bought.

Blah. I followed the recipe exactly and found this recipe to be bland. I thought it sounded GREAT and was excited to make it --- I'm SO GLAD I didn't make it for guests on the first shot. I also tossed it and agree with one of the other one-star reviews: what a waste.

I was skeptical and for good reason. I love avocados but not in this recipe. This dish had such a chicken broth-y taste that was too hard to get past. Would be much better to omit the chicken broth and water and just turn it into a dip. I threw out the entire dish, what a waste!

This recipe was a snap to put together and it was delicious! Eating this on a hot day would be perfect! We dipped Tostitos Hint of Lime tortilla chips in the soup and it added even more flavor and substance to this soup. I highly recommend adding the chips.
