Yield Makes 6 (first-course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small white onion, minced
1 jalapeño chili, seeded, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, chopped
2 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 cups (or more) water
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
8 ounces cooked bay shrimp
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, diced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion and jalapeño; sauté until tender, about 15 minutes. Add garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Season with salt. Remove from heat; cool.
Place avocados in blender. Add chicken broth, 4 tablespoons lemon juice and onion mixture. Puree until smooth. Transfer to large bowl. Stir in 2 cups water and lemon peel. Thin soup with more water, if desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, about 3 hours.
Meanwhile, mix shrimp, cucumber, chives, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours. Ladle soup into bowls. Top with shrimp.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use ripe avocados. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
If you don't have a blender, you can mash the avocados by hand. Just be sure to mash them until they are very smooth.
You can use any type of shrimp for this recipe. I used cooked shrimp, but you can also use raw shrimp. If you use raw shrimp, be sure to cook them before adding them to the soup.
To make a vegetarian version of this soup, simply omit the shrimp. You can add other vegetables to the soup, such as diced tomatoes, corn, or bell peppers.
Serve the soup chilled or at room temperature. You can also garnish the soup with additional chopped cilantro, diced avocado, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

This chilled avocado soup with shrimp is a refreshing and flavorful summer soup. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you serve it as a starter or a main course, this soup is sure to please everyone at your table.
