We were all so excited for this one. It turned out to be one of my least successful endeavors. The flavor was way too strong. In the end, I added 3 or 4 more avocadoes; and stirred in a fair amount of sour cream when eating it. Also, soda crackers or bread tone down the flavor.

One roommate loved it, as a guacamole sort of condiment.

The other ate it, despite not liking avocadoes.

I think the biggest issue was the potency of the broth. In the future I would use less dried bullion when making it.
