I like it, but had to make a few changes. I too used about half the recommended amount of water. I also added a dash of cayenne pepper because I wanted more heat. I also added the zest of one of the limes and more lime juice. So it was good but the given recipe needed some work.

I thought this soup was just ok. I thought 5.5 cups of water was way too much and I also thought that the soup was a little bland. It needed a little something extra that just wasn't there.

This is an AMAZING soup! My husband and I were channel surfing and saw part of this episode and it looked so good, we got all the stuff to make it the next day!! I'd say it takes more than 20 minutes to prepare, but it's just chopping. This recipe makes a LOT, but you'll want to eat it all. The avocados add a wonderful richness to a raw vegetable dish. It sure doesn't need a salad, it's so chock full of veggies as it is! I'm adding some mixed seafood to it for lunch tomorrow. One thing that wasn't mentioned in the recipe that she did on the show was pour some ice cold water in with the avocado half that gets pureed. It helps it get a lot creamier which is important for the soup base.
