Avocado Soup
For Dubravka
Serves 2
2 avocados, pealed and seeded (save one half and cut into chunks for garnish)
1 cucumber, peeled
1 whole tomatillo, remove papery husks (nice touch, skip it if you do not have it)
LIQUID:
1 cup freshly squeezed orange or tangerine juice
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
OTHER INGREDIENTS:
1 green chili pepper (remove the seeds if you do not like too spicy)
1 clove garlic, with peel
1 Tbsp ginger, with peel
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
1 cup fresh herbs (cilantro, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano, mint, tarragon)
In a blender combine all and blend well. Pour into a soup bowl and serve immediately.
Garnish with pieces of avocado. Top with green (basil or mint) leaves.
Add more chunks of avocado in a serving bowl if you like your soup hearty.
