This cold avocado soup will cool you down on a hot summer day. It is easy to make with no cooking and few ingredients. Plan ahead to chill the soup at least 2 hours before serving.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 large ripe avocados, peeled and chopped
  • 3/4 cup half and half
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation:

Place the chopped avocados in an electric blender or food processor and puree. Add the half and half and blend well. Combine the chicken stock with the avocado puree in a bowl, stirring well.

Pass the mixture through a sieve, then stir in the hot pepper sauce, and add salt and black pepper to taste.

Refrigerate soup for at least 2 hours before serving.

Yield: 2 appetizer servings
