Avocado soup
Avocado soup is a fruit soup prepared using avocados as a primary ingredient. Other ingredients can include milk, cream, or buttermilk; soup stock or broth; lime juice, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Additional ingredients used can include onions, shallots, garlic, hot sauce, cilantro, red pepper, cayenne pepper and cumin; water can be used to thin the soup. It is eaten widely in areas of Mexico.
The avocados in the soup itself are typically puréed or mashed; sliced, diced or cubed avocado can be used as a garnish. Additional garnishes can include sliced lime, sour cream, chives, crab meat, shrimp and salsa fresca. It can be prepared and served as a cold or hot soup.
Avocado soup's color can change as time passes because oxidation causes avocados to brown, but this does not affect the soup's flavor.
