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.

Categories     soups and stews, main course, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

About 2 cups chopped ripe avocado flesh (3 or 4 small avocados)
3 cups milk, preferably whole
Salt and cayenne pepper to taste
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, or to taste
A handful or more of small cooked shrimp
Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley leaves

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.

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.

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.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover avocado. I always have a few avocados on hand, so this is a great recipe to have in my back pocket.

I've never been a huge fan of avocado, but this soup changed my mind. It was so creamy and flavorful, and the avocado added a subtle sweetness that I really enjoyed.

This soup was incredibly easy to make and packed with flavor. I loved the creamy texture and the avocado gave it a unique flavor that I'd never had in a soup before.
