Cold Avocado & Buttermilk Soup 1 Recipe
Cold Avocado & Buttermilk Soup 1 Ingredients:
1/3 cup Coarsely chopped sweet
-onion, such as Vidalia
2 1/2 cup Cold chicken broth, all fat
-removed
3 Thoroughly ripe avocados
1 1/2 cup Buttermilk
1 drop Almond extract (optional)
pinch Of sugar (optional)
Salt to taste
2 Jalapeno peppers, seeds and
-veins removed, cut into
-very small dice
3 To 5 tablespoons minced
-cilantro
Crisp tortilla chips to
-accompany
Cold Avocado & Buttermilk Soup 1 Preparation:
Place the onions in a blender or processor and add 1 cup of the Puree
as fine as possible. Peel and chunk in 2 1/2 of the avocados,
reserving the remaining half for garnish. Puree again, adding broth
as necessary.
Transfer the soup to a large bowl. Add any remaining broth the
buttermilk to the blender and whir briefly to pick as much avocado as
possible. Add to the soup, along with the extract and sugar, if
desired.
Both of these rather surprising ingredients enhance avocado when used
in tiny amounts. Stir well, taste and adjust the salt. The soup may
be made to this in advance and refrigerated several hours, but for
best flavor allow it to warm up a bit before serving. It should be
cold but not icy.
Peel the remaining half avocado cut into very thin slices. Divide
soup-among six serving bowls and top with the sliced avocado, and
coriander. Serve accompanied by the tortilla chips.
Makes 6 servings.

| “Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it." | | Waverly Root (1903-1982) |
