Steps:
- Heat the butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the leek and season with salt and pepper. Saute the leek until soft but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the corn kernels and cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring from time to time. Add the turmeric and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the stock, bring to a simmer and cook until the corn is soft, another 6 to 8 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a blender (preferably high speed). Add the lime zest and juice, season with salt and pepper and blend until very smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Let cool, then refrigerate the mixture (in the blender carafe if desired) until chilled, at least 1 hour.
- When ready to serve, blend the mixture again, adding more stock if needed. Garnish with a drizzle of crema (in a squeeze bottle works best), a couple pickled Fresno slices, a swirl of Cilantro Oil and some crushed Marcona almonds.
- Put the olive oil, cilantro, green onion and garlic in a blender and process until smooth. Pour through a fine-mesh strainer into another bowl; season with salt and pepper. If necessary, whisk in a tablespoon of water at a time, up to 1/4 cup. Season to taste and transfer to a squeeze bottle.
CUCUMBER-AVOCADO GAZPACHO
I love this recipe when I'd like a cold soup but need a break from classic Spanish tomato-based gazpacho. Avocado is a nontraditional ingredient for gazpacho, but it makes a creamy and refreshing base when blended with almonds and cooling cucumber. I add lots of fresh herbs to brighten everything up. Give it a try and save those tomatoes for sauce!

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: For the creamiest and most flavorful gazpacho, use ripe avocados. Ripe avocados will be dark green or nearly black in color, and they will yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
- Use fresh corn: Fresh corn adds a sweet and juicy flavor to the gazpacho. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen corn that has been thawed.
- Chill the gazpacho before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the soup to become nice and cold. You can chill the gazpacho for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Garnish the gazpacho with your favorite toppings: Some good options include chopped cilantro or parsley, diced avocado, crumbled cotija cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil.
Conclusion:
Avocado corn gazpacho is a refreshing, flavorful, and healthy soup that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a light and healthy lunch or a refreshing dinner, avocado corn gazpacho is a great option. So next time you have an abundance of avocados and corn, be sure to give this recipe a try!
