Prepare the Soup Base
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

  4. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Prepare the Toppings

  2. Serve the soup hot, garnished with the sliced bell peppers, diced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and chopped cilantro.
  3. Add lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
