Chilled Avocado Cilantro Soup Recipes

CREAMY AVOCADO SOUP

Steps:

• Place the ingredients into your blender and blend on medium-high speed until smooth. Taste and add more salt, if wanted. If you'd like warm soup, pour it into a pot and heat it gently on medium heat. Do not let it boil.
• Serve on its own or with any of the optional toppings.

CHILLED AVOCADO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, chile and the garlic and cook until slightly soft, about 2 minutes.
• Season with salt, to taste. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• Put the avocados in a large bowl. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, cilantro, onion mixture, and water. Add, in batches, to a blender and puree until smooth, straining each batch of puree into a large bowl. Stir in the 1 teaspoon of salt and the 1 teaspoon of pepper, then cover and refrigerate until well chilled, about 3 hours.
• Pour the chilled soup into individual bowls. Top each serving with a drizzle of the sour cream. Serve with crostini or croutons, if desired.

CHILLED AVOCADO SOUP

Steps:

• Right before serving in a food processor puree the broth, garlic, lime juice and 1 of the avocados; season well to taste with salt and cayenne pepper.
• Add ice water to thin the soup to the texture you like. Chill the soup while you peel and cut remaining avocado into small dice. Fold the diced avocado into the base and adjust the seasoning.
• To serve, ladle soup into chilled bowls and garnish with cilantro, chives and a dollop of yogurt in the center or each portion.

CHILLED AVOCADO-CILANTRO SOUP

Steps:

• In a blender or a food processor, combine 2 of the avocados, the stock or broth, lime juice, yogurt, and sour cream. Blend until smooth.
• Add the tomato and cilantro. Pulse until the tomato is coarsely chopped, not puree.
• Pour into a bowl and season with salt. Coarsely chop the remaining avocado half and stir into the soup. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Ladle into bowls and serve with a dash of hot sauce.
