Top each soup serving with corn, sunflower seeds and a pinch of sliced scallions and serve.

Serving Suggestion: If you think a meal isn’t a meal without some form of meat, feel free to throw a handful of crispy bacon atop the soup. The carnivore in your life will be satisfied!

*If you want more heat, leave the seeds in.

*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
