KRISTI THANKS!

[Guest guest]

KRISTI, THIS IS DELISH!

Thanks for posting this soup. I woke up this morning with a large

extra-ripe avocado on the counter, and your post arrived in the

You were right on with the garlic and shoyu adjustments - I added a

sheet of nori and garnished with angel hair zuchinni... mmmmmmmmmmm.

Thanks again!

Annette
