Add in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add in the chicken stock all at once and simmer for 15 min, or possibly till the onion and pepper are very tender.
    3. Strain the soup into a bowl and set the broth aside. Transfer the onion- pepper mix to the workbowl of a food proceddor and process till very smooth. Add in the avocados, lemon juice, and lowfat sour cream andagain process till smooth.
    4. Return the broth to the casserole. Bring to a simmer, whisk in the avocado puree, and just heat through. Don't let come to a boil.
    5. Taste and correct the seasoning, adding a dash more lemon juice if necessary and a large grinding of white pepper.
    6. Serve the soup at room temperature in individual bowls and garnish each with a dollop of salsa and a few tiny cilantro leaves.
