Avocado soup

 When my mom first made avocado soup I wasn't sure I wanted to try it. She kept insisting it was very tasty and also very satisfying as a meal. I finally tried a few spoonfuls and I really loved it. The soup is thick, creamy, cool and filling and very simple to make.

Ingredients

Avocado ( large, ripe, pitted) - 2

sour cream - 1/2 cup 

milk - 1/2 cup

water - 1/2 cup

garlic cloves - 2

cilantro leaves chopped - 2 tbsp

lemon juice - 2 tbsp

salt - 1/2 tsp ( to taste)

black pepper powder - 1/2 tsp

tortilla strips - optional

Instructions

1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh of the avocado.
2. Add the avocado, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic cloves, cilantro, milk, water salt and pepper to a blender and grind until smooth. You can add more milk or water to get it to the correct consistency for you ( thick or watery).
   
   
   
3. Pour out into a bowl and garnish with a few cilantro leaves and tortilla strips. Add additional salt and pepper and lemon juice to taste.
