My family LOVES this soup. We were huge fans of Max and Erma's and our restaurant went out here. This soup was our favorite and so I searched and searched until I found it. It to us is almost exactly like what they had. I hope you enjoy it also!! Happy Cooking!!

This soup is the perfect comfort food. It's warm, hearty, and flavorful. I especially love the addition of the avocado and sour cream. They add a nice creaminess and richness to the soup.
