good recipe! I added 1 T of EVOO and then diced an avocado to replace the rest of the oil. I also added a handful of fresh, chopped cilantro for some flavor and used homemade tomato juice (no salt added) to greatly reduce the sodium -- no extra salt besides the 1/4 tsp was necessary. Very easy and simple ingredients! It was great without the croutons too.
