in a bowl add the broth,the avocado flesh and a tablesp. of the lime juice and mix it with an immersion blender. chill for 30 min in the fridge. in a blender add the onion,garlic,  lime zest, crème fraîche and coriander, blend well, until you have a nice little sauce. add the sauce to the soup and mix well. add all other ingredients to the soup and season with the cayenne, cumin, left over lime juice and salt and pepper.
