Photo: Cold Avocado Soup Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 large, ripe avocados, peeled, pitted and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
- 1/4 cup minced scallions
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro, plus 6 sprigs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
Directions
In batches in a food processor, puree the avocados, chicken stock, scallions, lemon juice, cilantro, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and the cayenne. Pour into a soup tureen or large pitcher and stir in the heavy cream just before serving. In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the corn kernels, cumin, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook until fragrant and golden brown, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and garnish each serving of soup with 2 tablespoons of the toasted corn and 1 sprig of cilantro.

Very creamy, the corn gives it a much needed crunch. Has a slight kick at the end. Even my kids ate it.

I was craving Avacado... and soup... I've made variations of this before. I substituted the cream with nonfat milk, and added some sanbul seasoning to spice it up a bit. It's bland as proposed, but at the same time that allows it to be a real avacado soup. It's a good lunch dish to have with crackers. I'd recommend using nonfat milk instead of cream, and adding more spice, and it's delicious.

Good for the summer time, if you like avocados. I was looking for a recipe that has avocado in as an ingredent. This was ok.
