Chilled Avocado Soup

By akselden

Ingredients

• 4 large avocados, peeled and pitted (about 2 cups)
• 1 1/2 to 2 cups fresh grapefruit juice
• 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 cup white wine
• Salt and freshly ground white pepper
• 1 small tomato, diced (for garnish)

Preparation

Step 1

In a blender or food processor, puree the avocados with 1 1/2 cups of the grapefruit juice until the mixture is very smooth and thick.

Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and stir in the broth and white wine to thin the texture to a pourable consistency. If the mixture needs a little more tartness, add the remaining juice. Season with 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon white pepper (or more to taste).

In a separate bowl, season the diced tomato lightly with salt. Serve the soup in bowls, cups or mugs, garnished with a spoonful of diced tomato.
