I just made this soup, and everybody liked it except for my 3 year old nephew. My niece (who is two) loved it though, she is currently completely covered in it. I also did not have any onions, so I added two spring onions, and I added less than what the recipe called for in tomato juice (I think about half), and instead of mincing the tomatoes, I chopped them, and added them. I made steamed asparagus, minted corn and goat cheese baguette, and shrimp in a parsley and garlic sauce with it(I had to feed a whole lot of people), and it was all OK, except maybe for the asparagus (it just doesn't really fit). Everything has been eaten. It really is a bit intense for a main dish, I think it would be fantastic as a starter.

This was good, but I tweaked it quite a bit. I didn't use tomato juice or yogurt; instead, I blended two very large beefsteak tomatoes (for a total of 3). I omitted the onion, and I added raw corn cut from the cob for some texture and a little sweetness. I also chopped a third avocado and stirred it in. I blended in about 1/3 cup of cilantro, added 1 tsp of sea salt, and added a sprinkle of cumin to each bowl. I may add garlic next time. A note about the flavor: With 32 oz of tomato juice, this is not going to taste like avocado. The avocado is used only to add a creamy texture. This soup has a nice flavor, but if you're looking for an avocado-flavored soup, this isn't it.

Made this recipe using half the amount of onion and green pepper the recipe called for (as per other comments). I really hoped to like this since it is so healthy, but found it just "okay". It seemed to acidic for both my husband and me -- I was just a little disappointed.

You could not taste the avocado at all and the green pepper was very overpowering.

This was good and very refreshing. The soup is definitely more tomato than avocado. Would be delicious with real sour cream (of course). I also wonder if it would be better with lime juice instead of lemon juice.

I really disliked this soup; the taste of onion and tomato juice totally overpowered the avocado. Tasted like acidic salsa.

Gives a new twist to gazpacho and a very tasty, good recipe. I let everyone add their own cayenne as I do not like spicy foods.

An excellent cold soup. I doubled the recipe, used very large avocados, added 1/2 cup more tomato juice, and served 11 people nicely.
