Cold Guacamole Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Working in batches, blend avocados, chicken broth, 2/3 cup milk, chopped shallots, 2 tablespoons Sherry and 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce in blender until mixture is smooth. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until cold. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Keep refrigerated.) Ladle soup into bowls. Spoon dollop of sour cream atop soup. Garnish with chives and serve.

Steps:

• Put cucumber, garlic, scallions, capsicum, herbs, vinegar, sugar, stock & half the chopped avocado into a food processor fitted with a steel blade (or put the ingredients straight into the serving bowl & use a hand-held blender with equal results & less dishes!).
• Blend well, then pour into a large serving bowl and add wine, salt, pepper, olive oil & diced tomato.
• From now on it must be stirred, not blended.
• Just before serving, toss the remaining avocado in the lemon juice, stir into the soup & serve with garlic croutons.

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a saucepan over moderate heat and stir in the flour.
• Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
• Boil for 5 minutes, remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Peel and pit 3 of the avocados and combine them with the remaining ingredients in an electric food processor or blender. Add about 2 cups of the cooled chicken stock and puree until smooth.
• Pour the avocado mixture into the saucepan with the remaining chicken stock and stir to combine.
• Chill for at least 2 hours.
• Immediately before serving, peel, pit, and dice the remaining avocado.
• Serve garnished with the diced avocado and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
