| | Avocado and Cucumber Soup (No Cooking Required)
2 medium cucumbers, seed if the seeds are large. peel if waxed or not grown organically. Chop, reserve 1 cup 2 nice and ripe avocados, pitted & peeled 5 cloves of garlic 2 cups of plain non fat yoghurt 1 cup of water (or 1 cup of ice cubes) 3 chopped scallions White pepper
In a bowl, combine all but 1 C of the cucumber, avocadoes, garlic, parsley, yoghurt, water or ice cubes, pepper. In a blender puree this mixture in batches until smooth, transferring it to a bowl or pitcher.. When everything is blended, add in the reserved cup of cukes and the scallions. Mix and chill at least 1 hour. Variation: I don't recommend this, but I did see someone put vodka into his bowl of soup once. He said that if we can mix vodka with tomato juice, why not with avocado and cucumbers.... Posted to fatfree digest V97 #179 by Gloriamarie Amalfitano on Aug 14, 1997 |
