Martino's avocado soup

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Avocados; 3 if small
1 can Swanson's chicken broth
1 Lime
Croutons; freshly made

Directions

Choose avocados that are very soft. If they give slightly in the store, buy them and put the avocados in a brown paper bag unrefrigerated, to soften.

They're usually ready in 24 hours unless the avocados were rock-hard to begin with, in which case wait 3 days and give up if they never soften.

Cut the soft avocados in two, the long way. Remove the seed with a knife.

(Hit the seed with the sharp side of a kitchen knife. The seed will stick to the blade and come right out.) Scoop out the avocado with a spoon, putting the flesh in a blender. Add the can of chicken broth and process on high for about 3½ minutes. The mixture will become thick and light green.

Add juice of ½ lime and pulse once or twice to distribute it. Taste the soup and add salt and/or pepper if it needs them.

Chill the soup and serve it ice cold, topped with fresh croutons.
