COLD AVOCADO CORN SOUP WITH CILANTRO OIL
Crema - a Mexican cultured heavy cream similar to sour cream - is often drizzled over enchiladas and tostadas and added to side dishes and sauces. Here it lends a tangy balance to rich avocado and sweet corn.

Steps:
- Make soup:
- Roast corn on rack of gas burner over high heat, turning occasionally with tongs, until kernels are charred in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. (Alternatively, heat a dry well-seasoned cast-iron skillet and roast corn over moderately high heat, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes.) Transfer corn to a cutting board and, when cool enough to handle, cut kernels from cob with a sharp knife, then cut cob into thirds.
- Bring kernels, cob pieces, 4 cups water, garlic, salt, and 1/2 cup onion to a boil in a 3-quart saucepan and boil until liquid is reduced to about 3 cups, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool, uncovered. Discard cob pieces.
- Purée corn mixture along with chile and remaining 3/4 cup onion in a blender, then pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on and then discarding solids. Return broth to cleaned blender.
- Quarter, pit, and peel 1 avocado, then add to blender with 2 tablespoons lime juice and purée until smooth. Transfer soup to a bowl and cover surface with plastic wrap. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill soup at least 1 hour.
- Prepare cilantro oil while soup chills:
- Purée cilantro, oil, and salt in cleaned blender, scraping down sides of blender several times. Pour oil into cleaned fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl and let drain 15 minutes (do not press on solids). Discard solids.
- Assemble soup:
- Halve and pit remaining avocado and scoop small balls from flesh with melon-ball cutter, then toss gently with remaining tablespoon lime juice in a bowl.
- Whisk together crema and remaining 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl until smooth.
- Season soup with salt and ladle into 6 shallow soup bowls. Divide avocado balls among bowls, then drizzle with crema and cilantro oil.

CHILLED CORN SOUP WITH TOMATOES, AVOCADO, AND LIME
I made this for supper club last weekend (theme was Mexican, loosely), and this was stupendous. First, if it is hot where you are (and it is sure hot where I am), this is a perfect appetizer. We all thought our body temperatures cooled off several degrees just eating. It is also tastes so, so good. My goodness. This recipe comes from Jody Adams, from the "In the Hands of a Chef" cookbook. This is also a two day recipe, perfect for when you are hosting a summer supper (you make most of it ahead, and just do assembly and cutting of the avocado right before). I am writing this as I made it, and I doubled it; it goes without saying you could easily halve this. I also make my own creme fraiche, and here is how I do it: I mix one cup of whipping cream with 2 tbsp of buttermilk, and put in a jar with a lid. I do this one day before I want to use it. I let it sit out over night and then refrigerate it the next morning - and then I use it later in the day (they say it will stay good for 10 days).

Steps:
- The day/night before serving:.
- Use a sharp knife, and strip the corn kernels from the cob. Put the corn kernels in a bowl for later, and place the stripped cobs in a large stockpot. Add the sliced white onion to the stockpot, and with just enough water to cover (too much water makes the stock too thin). Season with salt and pepper, bring the stock to a boil, and then simmer for 35 minutes. Discard the cobs when finished simmering.
- While the stock is simmering, heat the olive oil in a saute' pan over medium heat. Add the leek and shallot, and cook until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the corn kernels, season with salt and pepper, about 2 minutes. Do not overcook, the corn should still taste fresh. Remove from heat and set aside until the stock finishes cooking.
- Add the sauteed vegetables to the corn broth (once cobs removed) and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Strain the broth into a bowl and puree' the solids in a blender, adding just enough of the broth to make a thick soup.
- Put soup in a bowl, cover, and stick it in the fridge until ready to eat the next day.
- Day you're serving:.
- Mix the cucumber, tomato, and diced red onion in a bowl with salt, pepper, and lime juice; refrigerate til serving.
- Dice the salmon and reserve for serving.
- Just before serving:.
- Cut the avocado and add to tomato/cucumber/onion mixture.
- To serve:.
- Distribute salmon evenly among 8 bowls, place a little mound of it in the bottom of the bowl. Ladle the soup into the bowls. Add a large spoonful of the chopped tomato/cucumber/avocado/onion mixture to the top of each bowl. Add a spoonful of creme fraiche, a sprinkle of chives, and serve immediately.

SWEET CORN SOUP WITH AVOCADO CREAM AND CILANTRO
Steps:
- Heat a large saucepan over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the butter, and when it foams, add the potato, onion, chile, and thyme. Reduce the heat to low, and cook about 10 minutes, until the onion is translucent and the potatoes release their starch and appear creamy.
- Turn the heat to high, and add the corn, cilantro sprigs, the jalapeño, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and some pepper. Stir to coat the corn in the butter, onion, and potato mixture. Pour 10 cups of water into the pot and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Turn the heat down to low, and simmer about 30 minutes, until the corn and potatoes are tender but not mushy.
- Meanwhile, purée the avocado and crème fraîche in a food processor until smooth. Season with the lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Strain the soup over a large bowl, and discard the chile de árbol. Put half the corn mixture into the blender with 1/2 cup of the liquid. (You will need to purée the soup in batches.) Process at the lowest speed until the corn is puréed. Then, pour in 1 cup of liquid. Turn the speed up to high, and pour in more liquid, a little at a time, until the soup has the consistency of heavy cream. Blend at least a minute, until the soup is completely smooth. Transfer to a container, and repeat with the second half of the soup. (You may not need all the liquid.) Taste the soup for balance and seasoning.
- To serve family-style, put the soup in a warm tureen and scatter the cilantro leaves over the top. Serve the avocado cream on the side. Or serve in bowls and garnish each with a generous dollop of avocado cream and three cilantro leaves.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and slightly soft when pressed. Avoid avocados that are hard or have blemishes.
- Use fresh corn: Fresh corn on the cob is best for this soup, but you can also use frozen or canned corn kernels if necessary. If using frozen corn, thaw it before adding it to the soup.
- Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be cooked just until the vegetables are tender and the corn is heated through. Overcooking will make the soup mushy.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lime juice or a dollop of sour cream.
- Serve immediately: Avocado soup is best served immediately after it is made. The avocado will start to brown if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Avocado corn soup is a delicious and refreshing soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. With its creamy texture and fresh flavors, this soup is sure to please everyone at the table.
