Mexican Tortilla Soup with Smokin' Salsa Fresh Lime and Coriander This month we took a trip to Amamoor about 45mins North of Belmondos to visit John Tidy's Certified Organic Avocado farm. John has a wealth of knowledge about organic and biodynamic farming and soil health and is passionate about growing delicious and nutritious food and the importance of a healthy environment to grow it. In an effort to close the gap between the farmer and the consumer. This recipe originally came to us from Jules at House of Salsa and we just had to try it with John's Avocados. Warm and smokey absolutely epic for this time of year! It knocked John's socks off and we think you'll love it too.
