Remarks:
Raw foodists alert! Though it is the monsoon season in Singapore now, this chilled soup made with raw food and meant for the summer is still certain to please! Well, unless u abhor the spices that are thrown in. Initially, I found it rather tart due to the tomatoes (this soup is more tomatoey than avocadoey). However, the addition of milk created divinity. How I wished I had a dollop of thick creamy yogurt at that time! The texture was smooth and surprisingly..fluffy.1) Simmer 1 1/2 tomatoes in some water till bubbly and sweet.

Remarks:
Geez, what an adjective to use for a soup. Airy soup? Oh well, disregard the English.. It was really fluffy and each spoonful was bursting with the flavours of the earth. A decent find! Can't wait to try another chilled avocado and tomato soup again soon!
