These avocado-topped open-faced sandwiches make a perfect quick dinner for busy weeknights. For the best flavour and texture, use ripe avocados that yield when gently pressed.
Use ripe tomatoes for this soup. At this time of year, hot-house tomatoes are your best bet – the small, sweet "cocktail tomatoes" have good flavour. Adjust the number of hot peppers to your taste.
