Mexican Avocado Soup - {Sopa De Aguacate} Recipe - Cooking Index
This rich soup is both simple and seductive -- in a word, irresistible. Serve hot or cold to 6 as a filling first course.
Courses: Soup| 4 cups | 948ml | Vegetable or chicken stock |
| 1 cup | 237ml | Heavy cream |
| 1 | Chili pepper - hot as you dare | |
| (from banana to habanero) | ||
| 1 | Garlic clove | |
| 2 | Avocados | |
| Salt - to taste | ||
| Freshly-ground white pepper - to taste | ||
| Garnish | ||
| Finely chopped cilantro | ||
| Crisp tortillas - fried in lard | ||
| Or oil |
Heat the stock and cream and keep at a simmer. Puree the chili pepper and garlic in a blender, then add avocado. When ready to serve, gradually add the hot stock mixture and blend until smooth.
Season to taste and either serve immediately with cilantro topping and tortilla chips on the side -- or refrigerate immediately to make a cold soup. Avocados turn bitter when heated, so be careful.
