A creamy, savory summer soup that is ready in less than 30 minutes. This cream of avocado soup uses much less cream than typical cream soups because avocados are so creamy on their own.

SIMPLE AVOCADO SOUP

Categories     easy, lunch, quick, soups and stews, appetizer

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 very ripe avocado, peeled and seeded
1/2 pint whipping cream
2 cups hot chicken broth
Salt and white pepper to taste
4 tablespoons dry sherry

Steps:

  • In a food processor or blender, puree an extreme ripe avocado - one to the point of being dark and squishy soft all over.)
  • Add cream slowly, then pour in hot broth. Mix just until blended. And salt and white pepper to taste.
  • Into the bottom of each soup bowl place one tablespoon of dry sherry, then ladle soup over and serve. This takes about two minutes from the time you first notice that the avocado is going to go bad if you don't use it immediately. It is also delicious cold, but it doesn't work out to add cold chicken broth because the chicken fat will not blend properly; it is necessary to heat the broth, then cool the soup.

ULTRAFAST AVOCADO SOUP



Ultrafast Avocado Soup image

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.

Provided by Mark Bittman

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.

Tips

  • Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color, with a slight give when pressed gently. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have blemishes.
  • Use a blender or immersion blender: A blender or immersion blender is the best way to achieve a smooth and creamy soup. If you don't have either of these appliances, you can also mash the avocados by hand, but it will take longer and the soup may not be as smooth.
  • Add some heat: If you like your soup with a little bit of spice, you can add some chopped jalapeño or serrano pepper to the soup. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika.
  • Garnish your soup: Before serving, garnish your soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion

Avocado soup is a delicious, healthy, and versatile soup that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover avocados. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, avocado soup is sure to become a favorite in your household.
