Creamy Avocado Soup

A quick and easy no-cook soup, this is remarkably refreshing on a hot summer day. It’s best eaten on the same day as it is made, since avocado discolors and does not keep well under refrigeration once peeled. This soup makes a great opener for a Southwestern-style meal of burritos, enchiladas, or the like.

    4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

2 large ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
Juice of 1/2 lemon

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon good-quality curry powder
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Preparation

    Finely dice enough avocado to make 1 cup, then mash the remainder well. Combine the diced and mashed avocados in a serving container and mix immediately with the lemon juice.
