Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I tried this yesterday. It was delicious and didn't want to share with hubby. But I did. . . We love avocados. Cold and Creamy Avocado Soup 1 ripe avocado 1/4 cup lime juice ( I used 1 fresh lime, squeezed) 2 cups soy milk (Mom has indicated milk, but I used Soy) 1 - 3 teaspoons chili powder 1 teaspoon salt 6 ice cubes 1 small tomato, cored and diced 1/4 cup diced red onion Peel and pit the avocado and cut it into large chunks. Place the avocado and lime juice in a blender and puree. Add the milk, chili powder, salt and ice cubes. Whirl until smooth. Transfer to chilled serving bowls or cold mugs and sprinkle the tomato and onion over the top. Serves 4. I didn't have any tomato yesterday so I omitted them. I would like to make it next time with a bit of cilantro. Any other ideas? Jenn Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 LOL - Jenn, can't blame you for not wanting to share with your hubby. This sounds good. Now, does the pureeing leave any remnants of ice bits or does it become silky (bad soy milk pun smooth? I love avocados - so so good. I think cilantro would be a great idea. I wonder if stirring it in at the end might be better so that there is a hint of cilantro and it doesn't overpower the subtle avocado flavor. I think a nice thing to do would be to make some fresh pico de gallo (chopped up tomato, onion, cilantro, jalapenos, garlic and lime) and plop a big spoonful in the middle after pouring the soup into the bowl. That way you can scoop up a little of the fresh pico along with the soup. Or maybe some green onion as a garnish too. Thanks for this recipe. I always have these ingredients on hand and this looks good, simple and quick. Nice combo! I'm saving it. Shawn On 9/8/05, Jennifer wrote: > > I tried this yesterday.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Thanks for the ideas for the soup. I agree about the cilantro at the end. I also liked the idea of the fresh pico de gallo. We have family coming this weekend and will try your ideas Jenn subprong <subprong wrote: LOL - Jenn, can't blame you for not wanting to share with your hubby. This sounds good.
