Little or no cooking is one way to keep the kitchen cool in the summer, but if the food you produce is cool (and delicious, of course), that's a real plus. Cold soups are a common solution. It's difficult to imagine one simpler than this one, and impossible to imagine one richer and creamier.

Steps:
- Put chopped avocado in a blender. Add half the milk, a large pinch of salt and a small pinch of cayenne; process to a purée. Add remaining milk and purée, then chill for up to 6 hours if you have time (press a piece of plastic wrap to surface of soup so it does not discolor).
- Add lime juice, taste, then adjust seasoning, if necessary. Garnish with shrimp and parsley or cilantro, and serve.

[email protected]I accidentally used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth. The soup was still good, but it wasn't as flavorful as I think it would have been with vegetable broth.

[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with it.
