Avocados Soup

Ingredients:

A2 ripe avocados (for 2 people, 3 for 3 people…. Ripe avocados give when you put them in the palm of your hand and squeeze gently, if your hand gives the fruit is NOT ripe and should be kept till it is)

½ cup of olive oil. 3 or 4 cloves of garlic…. Finely sliced
Juice of ½ a lemon, or lime if there are any around
1 handful of fresh finely chopped parsley or coriander leaves, or both

Or, try thyme or sage and syboes
Boiling water
Salt and pepper to taste

You can increase the ingredients according to the number of servings but not just doubling the amounts. Just a wee bit more of everything apart from the avocados, lots of them!

 

Method:

Put the olive oil, finely sliced garlic and parsley or finely chopped sybies and thyme, into a bowl and stir them about a bit.

Cut the avocados in half and take out the pit. You can scoop out the flesh or slice the fruit and peel off the skins or mash the flesh while it is still in the skin, then tip it into the olive oil mixture and mash the fruit with the lemon or limejuice.

Combine the avocado and olive oil mixtures together in a (serving) bowl, pour on the boiling water, or stock, (about ½ cup per person), stir about a bit then serve with thin toast or warm bread. ENJOY

Try adding half a red chilli, finely chopped. If you like hot spicy food, leave the seeds in, if you don't, scrape them out.

Try putting a swirl of Soya milk or sour Soya cream on top of each dish as you serve it, yummy!

A Wee Note

Avocados are good for potassium, vitamins A, some B's, some C and some E. They also help against the awful depredations of free radicals (which can be carcinogenic) and help to keep your skin looking really good. Use them as fresh as you can and savour the flavour. Potassium helps to control blood pressure and to maintain a regular heartbeat

Another Wee Note

Heat the pan before you put the oil in and then everything just flows, nae hinging aboot!

Yet another wee note:

Chillies are good for the heart and the circulation. They are a lso good for your lungs, and boy, do they taste good fresh!

A wee thought:

If you are serving this soup in the Summer time you could use cold vegetable stock instead of hot, you could use hot stock in winter, whatever turns you on!
