I made this recipe this week. It really was excellent. I was a little concerned at first that the texture would be a little thin, but when you puree the mixture with the avocados it thickens right up. I also wound up substituting 2 dried arbol chiles for the jalapeno. It gave the bisque a medium heat and didn't affect the color. This recipe is a winner and has been added to my recipe file. Thanks for the post!
