Creamy Green Avocado Soup

The beauty of avocado soup is that you can have it either warm, or chilled, making it perfect any time of year. 

I have decided to include a lot of green-leafy herbs in this soup and really play with colour without compromising flavour.  

For one serving

• 1 large avocado 
• 1 lime, juiced
• ¼ cup fresh basil leaves
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 scallion, chopped
• 1 ½ cup water 
• 1 clove garlic
• salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Scrape the avocado “meat” and discard the seed and skin.  (or use them as cat toys)
2. Add all ingredients to a blender, or food processor and blend until smooth.  
3. If you want a warm version, heat the contents gently in a saucepan before serving. Do not boil, the avocado will begin to turn brown if it is too hot.
4. Serve with bread sticks, or toasted bread.
