AVOCADO SOUP
This is a deliciously different use for avocados. I add sour cream and bacon bits to garnish the smooth texture of the avocado soup and to add some extra flavor. -Bernice Orm, Ojai, California

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: For the creamiest, most flavorful soup, use ripe avocados. Ripe avocados will yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
- Use a blender or food processor: A blender or food processor will help you achieve a smooth, creamy soup. If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can mash the avocados by hand, but this will take more time and effort.
- Add flavorings and seasonings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavorings and seasonings in your avocado soup. Some popular additions include garlic, onion, lime juice, cilantro, and cumin.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Avocado soup can be served with a variety of toppings, such as crumbled bacon, chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced tomatoes, or shredded cheese.
Conclusion:
Avocado soup is a delicious, creamy, and versatile soup that can be enjoyed hot or cold. It's a great way to use up ripe avocados and is a good source of healthy fats and fiber. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, avocado soup is a great option for a quick and healthy meal.
