BLACK BEAN AVOCADO SALSA
This has to be my favorite summer salsa. It's colorful and fresh tasting. It makes a bunch, so invite some friends over. I like to take the lime after it's been juiced and rub down the bowl I will be serving the salsa in. I also rub the lime on the plastic wrap this will help keep the avocados from turning brown. Don't forget the tortilla chips!

Tips:
- Use ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are creamier and have a richer flavor. To check if an avocado is ripe, gently squeeze it. It should yield to gentle pressure.
- Don't overcook the black beans: Overcooked black beans will become mushy. Cook them just until they are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
- Season the soup to taste: Taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or cumin.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for black bean and avocado soup include sour cream, shredded cheese, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
