Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe avocados
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 medium white onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 small optional - diced fresh jalapeño
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the lime juice to the blender to prevent the avocados from oxidizing and turning brown.
In a small pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
Add the cooked onion and garlic mixture to the blender with the avocados.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the heavy cream, fresh cilantro, salt, black pepper, and optional diced jalapeño for heat if desired. Blend again until fully combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice as needed.
Chill the soup in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. The flavors will meld beautifully during this time.
Serve cold, garnished with a drizzle of olive oil, extra cilantro leaves, or thin slices of lime. Enjoy!
