Avocado Soup
Crema de AguacateCold avocado soup is among the more sophisticated soups of Mexico, which I discovered in the capital city. Elegant restaurants in Mexico City often serve it from a glass bowl nestled in an ice-filled heavy silver goblet. It's refreshing and delicious, however you present it.
