- 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (2 oranges)
- 1/4 cup tequila, preferably aged
- Coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 1 watermelon, for serving
Directions
In a blender, combine avocado, cilantro, 3/4 cup chicken stock, and serrano pepper. Add orange juice, tequila, salt, zest, and remaining 5 1/4 cups chicken stock. Blend until smooth, in 2 batches if necessary. Strain through a sieve.
Cut watermelon in 1/2 crosswise. Hollow out one half of the watermelon, forming a tureen. Seed flesh, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Pour soup into watermelon, and garnish with watermelon cubes. Reserve remaining 1/2 watermelon for another use.
