Green Goddess Unexpected: Avocado Soup.

When I was eight years old, my mother called me into the kitchen for “a taste of something special.” Half an avocado, with the pit still in it, lay on the sink, and on a plate the other half was laid out in slices. She cut a slice in half, and placed it on a crisp cracker. She added a sprinkling of kosher salt and held it out to me.

“Taste this,” she said.   I put the whole thing in my mouth.

And so began my love affair with avocados. They are fabulous in salads and omelettes. And I think guacamole ought to be a separate food group! I still like them plain…on a crispy cracker with a little salt. Here is one of my favorite avocado recipes. I have been making this soup for years. It’s very rich so keep the servings small. Enjoy!
