Avocado, coconut cream and cucumber goodness!

You know how sometimes you stumble across a recipe and love it so much that you automatically make it over and over until you know it off by heart and then it becomes one of your go-to dishes?  You very nearly run the risk of overdosing yourself and your family on it. Well this is one such recipe but to date, none of us are sick of it.  My Mum found this delicious chilled soup in a recent issue of NZ House & Garden magazine which is always an inspirational read.  It is very, very simple so go ahead and give it a try. In fact why not encourage your children to make it?
