Chilled Avocado Soup (Soupe D'avocat Abidjanaise)
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
- 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.
- When ready to serve, spoon into bowls, top each with a thin lime slice, and sprinkle a bit of Tabasco sauce over each portion.
- Serve this to 4 people as a rich first course.
- Comments: From The Ivory Coast, this thick, clean-tasting soup cries out "tropics" - bright plumage with the bite of pepper and lime.
- 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.
