Chilled Avocado And Yogurt Soup With Tomato Salsa Recipes

AVOCADO SOUP WITH SALSA

Steps:

• Peel and pit avocados; cut chunks into a food processor. Add lemon juice and yogurt, and process. Add 1 cup stock; then, gradually add more until soup is thinned to desired consistency. Add salt and Tabasco to taste. Transfer to a bowl, cover and chill 2 hours or overnight.
• To serve, stir well, ladle into bowls and garnish with a spoonful of salsa or watercress and tomatoes.

CHILLED AVOCADO-CILANTRO SOUP

Steps:

• In a blender or a food processor, combine 2 of the avocados, the stock or broth, lime juice, yogurt, and sour cream. Blend until smooth.
• Add the tomato and cilantro. Pulse until the tomato is coarsely chopped, not puree.
• Pour into a bowl and season with salt. Coarsely chop the remaining avocado half and stir into the soup. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Ladle into bowls and serve with a dash of hot sauce.

CHILLED TOMATO YOGURT SOUP

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender purée the tomatoes in batches, force the purée through a fine sieve set over a bowl, and whisk in the yogurt, the curry powder, the basil, and salt and pepper to taste. Chill the soup, covered, until it is cold. (The soup may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled).
