Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 white onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
- 1/2 red, orange, or yellow bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 medium avocados, halved, seeded, peeled, and roughly chopped, see *Cook's Note
- 2 1/2 cups 2 percent milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 pound small raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Fresh basil leaves, finely chopped, for garnishing
- Sesame seeds, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and peppers and cook until soft, about 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the dill, season with salt and pepper. Put the mixture in the blender jar.
Add the avocado, and milk and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the blender and puree. When completely smooth, transfer the puree to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until chilled.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until curled, pink and opaque, about 2 to 4 minutes. To serve, pour the chilled soup into small glasses or bowls, add a few of the shrimp to each glass and garnish with the basil, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of oil.
*Cook's Note: We recommend Hass avocados for the smoothest avocado soupita.

Avocado is high in fat, but it isn't necessarily bad for you. Fat is the newest addition to the food pyramid, it is an essential part of our daily diet. The wonderful thing about avocados is that they are also high in HD cholesterol. This means that the fat they contain is actually good for you. So don't be such a fat hater.

This was good, I love avocado and shrimp, BUT since each avocado has 26g of fat - and this recipe calls for 3 - I only used 1/2 of the avocado mixture and all of the shrimp to serve 4.
