Chilled Tomato and Avocado Soup

SUBMITTED BY: DCOX101

"This is a delicious cold soup and makes a quick summer meal with the addition of a loaf of sourdough bread. This soup has a distinctive flavor to it that you will love - somewhere between guacamole and gazpacho."

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

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.

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.
