2011 Kick Off with Hass Avocados Recipe Contest – Finalist
Recipe Courtesy of Shauna E. from Utah, who says "This is my family's favorite game day recipe! My father coached football my entire life. Now my son plays quarterback on varsity. We make this soup after every home game. It is quick, hearty, savory, delicious, and feeds a crowd. It is especially good topped with Hass Avocados. After eating this soup, you will feel like you just scored a touchdown!"
