    Ingredients

    • 2 x ripe avocados
    • 4 c. cool chicken or possibly vegetable stock
    • 2 Tbsp. lime juice
    • 1 Tbsp. plain yogurt
    • 2 dsh Tabasco sauce - (hefty) Salt to taste Freshly-grnd black pepper to taste
    • 4 slc lime - (paper thin) Tabasco sauce

    Directions

    1. Dump the avocado flesh into a blender and puree. Add in the stock and continue processing till smooth. Blend in the lime juice, yogurt, Tabasco sauce, and salt and pepper. Chill for at least one hour.
    2. When ready to serve, spoon into bowls, top each with a thin lime slice, and sprinkle a bit of Tabasco sauce over each portion.
    3. Serve this to 4 people as a rich first course.
    4. Comments: From The Ivory Coast, this thick, clean-tasting soup cries out "tropics" - bright plumage with the bite of pepper and lime.
    5. Chances are you will not be able to find the creamy thin-skinned purple avocado varietals native to the Ivory Coast, but buttery Haas avocados are just as good.
