Personal Notes:
This soup is really good, but what makes is fantastic are the toppings (don't skip the avocado). I have used my Volume 1 copy of this cookbook until the pages are tattered and stained. Thanks for letting me share all of your family's talent and for letting me be a part of this volume!
