About the dish

Sopa de aguacate is a traditional soup originating from Central Mexico, but it's popular throughout Latin America. Although there are numerous variations, this pale gren soup is usually made with a combination of avocados, chicken stock or caldo de pollo soup, chipotle chili peppers, and fried pieces of tortilla. The avocados are blended with the stock into a smooth purée, then heated gently so that the mixture doesn't boil. The soup is served immediately, while still warm, and it's topped with the tortilla pieces and chipotle chili peppers torn into pieces. Other versions of the soup also add onions, lemon juice, garlic, or bell peppers into the mix.
