Steps:
- First, prepare the Pinto beans according to the directions on the packaging. This may require an overnight soak. When cooking the beans, only cook them about halfway. You can prepare the stock as they cook.
- Next, prepare the stock: Fill a large pot with 6 cups of water, and bring to a low boil. Coarsely chop Onion, and add to pot. Cut up 1 avocado into large pieces and add to pot. Cut the top off of the Habañero pepper, and add to pot. Break flounder fillet into small pieces, and add to pot. Whisk 1 tablespoons of Wasabi mustard into the pot. Add 1 tablespoons of Horseradish to pot. Finally, add the partially cooked pinto beans to the pot. Now, let the whole mixture simmer for about 1 hour.
- While the stock simmers, you can prepare the base: Cut up the 2 remaining avocados and place in a blender. Add another 1 tablespoons of Wasabi mustard to the blender, along with 1/4 cup of water. Scoop out the other avocado and the Habañero pepper from the stock pot, and add to the blender. Blend these ingredients until they are fully puréed. You may need to add another 1/4 cup of water.
- Now, strain the stock through a colander to remove the onion, fish pieces, and beans, but KEEP the strained liquid. That is your stock. You can discard the onions, fish, and beans, or use them in another dish. I added them to some whole grain rice for a healthy, fiber-rich side dish.
- Pour the strained stock back into the large pot. Put it on medium-low heat, and gradually whisk in the avocado purée, until fully blended. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Tip: If the soup is too thin, let it simmer for a while and it will reduce and get thicker. If the soup is too thick, you can add a bit of water.
SPICY TORTILLA SOUP WITH SHRIMP AND AVOCADO
Steps:
- 1. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add onion and next 6 ingredients (through garlic); cook 6 minutes or until carrot is crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Add broth, hominy, and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Cover and cook 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add shrimp; cook 2 minutes or until shrimp are done. 2. Remove from heat; stir in juice and salt. Divide shrimp mixture evenly among 4 bowls; top evenly with chips and avocado. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
Tips:
- Select ripe avocados: Use ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure. They will have a creamy texture and rich flavor.
- Use a good blender: A high-powered blender will help you achieve a smooth and creamy soup. If you don't have a blender, you can mash the avocado with a fork until smooth.
- Don't overcook the soup: Overcooked avocado soup will lose its vibrant green color and creamy texture. Simmer it just until the vegetables are tender and the soup is heated through.
- Adjust the spiciness to your taste: The amount of jalapeño pepper you add will determine the spiciness of the soup. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Avocado soup is delicious on its own, but you can also garnish it with chopped cilantro, crumbled cotija cheese, or a dollop of sour cream.
Conclusion:
Avocado soup is a delicious, creamy, and versatile soup that can be enjoyed hot or cold. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up leftover avocados. With its vibrant green color and rich flavor, avocado soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
