I can’t even remember where I came across this twist on the classic tomato soup recipe, but I remember seeing it and instantly
attracted to the unusual idea of a soup with feta, avocado.
Tomato soup is always great for wintertime, and the added heat of the chilli makes it even more suited to these cold months! Served alongside some cheese tortilla chips and drizzled with a great yoghurt, mint, and chilli sauce, it’s possibly one of the tastiest soups I’ve ever made, and I definitely recommend trying.
