Ingredients

  • 2 cups diced avocados
  • 2 cups cold chicken broth
  • 1 -2 cup cold milk
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh cilantro or 2 tablespoons chives
  • 1 tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and finely diced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper (to taste)
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Method

  • Puree the avocados with the chicken broth in a blender until smooth. Pour in enough milk to make a thick but pourable soup. (may not use all 2 cups, may use less).
  • Add the lemon juice and season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne to bring out the delicate flavors.
  • Garnish with the cilantro and tomato. Serve at once, because the soup tends to discolor rapidly.
