The health benefits of this fruit is incredible, read more because it fills the body with useful elements and various substances that are necessary for the normal functioning of the body.
I tried it without the serrano pepper and just added some black pepper and chopped up a red bell pepper in it and it was yummy;) Cold or warm.
It didn’t get as hot as I thought it was going to be, maybe the measurements could be cut in half? It’s very airy, frothy even, great with tortilla chips!
Just done this soup! It is very nice! Try it!
It’s a cold soup. I make a similar one and always chill my ingredients before making the soup.
I omit the milk, water and peppers, use more lime, add a couple of scallions, 2 teaspoons of chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon of cumin. So cool and refreshing on a summer day!
