Columbian Creamy Avocado Soup

This cream of avocado soup uses less cream than the typical cream soups because avocados are so creamy on their own. Serves 4 Total Time: 25 minutes 

Ingredients:

2 cloves of garlic, minced 
1/2 yellow onion, minced 
2 cups chicken broth, divided 
2 large avocados, pitted, peeled and cut into cubes 
1 tablespoon lime juice 
1/4 cup cilantro leaves 
Salt and pepper, to taste 
1/2 cup heavy cream
Top with slices of avocado, cilantro leaves and a swirl of sour cream 


Directions:

Add garlic, onions and 1/4 cup of chicken broth to a Dutch Oven on med/high heat. Cook until the garlic is lightly browned and the onions are translucent. Add in the rest of the chicken broth, avocados, lime juice and cilantro leaves. Bring to simmer and cook 5-10 minutes until the flavors blend together. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the soup in a blender and blend until smooth. Add cream and blend on low just until cream is incorporated. Serve with toppings. Yum Yum! 

Note: Try additional toppings like tomatoes, shrimp, scallops, feta 
cheese or corn.
