post for sarah--avocado soup

For enough for two people with leftovers for the following day (for at least two):

2 avocados, ripe but not yukky

2 cloves of garlic

1 large or two medium shallots

2 big limes

2-3 cups chicken broth

large glob of either thick yogurt (like Greek) or sour cream or creme fraiche

salt, pepper, possibly more lime juice

Chop garlic and shallots coarsely, squeeze limes, put garlic and shallot in blender or food processor with salt, mince. Add avocados and lime juice, blend, add chicken broth, alternating with yogurt, add some pepper or tabasco, taste. add more salt or yogurt or lime, to taste. Chill.

If you want to be fancy, put chopped chives or Italian parsley on top to impress people. Or I suppose you could put garlic croutons, but I've never done it.

Love, Mom
