Chilled Spicy Tomato Soup image

Ripe, juicy tomatoes are spiked with coriander, cumin, and dried chiles for a flavor that's reminiscent of harissa, the North African chili sauce. Swirls of yogurt add creaminess.

This soup was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I think next time I will use less chili powder.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this soup. I’m not usually a fan of tomato soup, but this one was really good. The spice level was perfect and the avocado added a nice creaminess. I will definitely be making this again.
