We love this limey soup. Did follow your suggestion to add cumin and increase the serranos, also doubled the avocado and onion and used less salt. Came out super delicious. Want to try putting potatoes in this too. Made half a recipe to serve 2 people as a main course.

I made this just as written. The lime is quite nice- it makes the soup pleasantly tart, the way I like tart soups (tom yum being a favorite) All the other flavors round it out for a nice southwestern effect.
