Tomato Soup With Avocado Recipes

Steps:

• Place first 4 ingredients in processor. Blend until smooth. Add 1/4 cup broth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Blend to mix. Transfer soup to bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
• Place tomatoes, bell peppers and sugar in clean processor. Blend until smooth. Add tarragon leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Blend 30 seconds. Transfer to bowl. Cover and chill. (Both soups can be made 4 hours ahead.)
• If avocado soup is very thick, thin slightly with more broth. Ladle both soups simultaneously into each soup bowl. Garnish each with dollop of sour cream and tarragon sprig.

Steps:

• Halve and pit the avocados. Set aside half an avocado for the salsa. Put the remaining avocado flesh in a blender with the buttermilk, yogurt, cilantro, garlic, chile, and cumin. Blend until smooth. Taste and add more chile if desired, and then blend again. Transfer to a bowl and stir in enough cold water to thin the soup to a pleasing consistency, about 1/2 cup. Stir in the lime juice, or more to taste, and season with salt. Chill thoroughly.
• Just before serving, prepare the salsa: In a bowl, stir together the tomato, onion, cilantro, chile, and garlic. Cut the reserved avocado half into 1/4-inch dice and fold it in gently, and then season to taste with salt and lime juice and stir again gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
• If the soup has thickened in the refrigerator, whisk in ice water to thin it to the desired consistency. Taste for seasoning. Divide among 6 bowls. Top each serving with a spoonful of salsa and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots, garlic, thyme, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the ingredients are fragrant and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, broth, and bay leaves, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the avocado relish:.
• Combine the avocado, red onion, cucumber, cilantro(or parsley), serrano chile(if using), lime juice, and a generous sprinkling of salt in a bowl. Taste for seasonings, and add more salt or lime if you like.
• After the soup has simmered, remove bay leaves and stir in the chipotle peppers and vinegar. Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender or food processor and return it to the pot.
• Season the puree with more salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and serve each portion garnished with a few tablespoons of the avocado relish. Enjoy!
