* This was one of Mama's favorite soups.

You can puree some of the soup to give it a thicker consistency.
A little sliced avocado as garnish never hurts.

You can puree all of the soup.  Use a blender or a hand blender.
It's good that way too.
Garnish with a spoon full of Lime flavored Sour Cream.
(just squeeze a little lime juice in the sour cream).
