Peel the garlic cloves, mash them to a paste and add them to the bowl.
Scoop the avocado flesh into the bowl and coarsely mash with a fork.
Fold the cilantro and lime juice into the guacamole; season with salt & pepper (make sure you don't over-season because there is more salt & pepper in the soup!).
