Ultrafast Avocado Soup

Fabulous! Shrimp and took suggestion of adding tiny frozen peas, just defrost. A definite keeper. Sharing on Facebook.

A nice easy summer soup, but a bit on the bland side for my taste. A little extra salt and cayenne helped, but the flavor could use a little more depth.

This is a splendid, elegant recipe and thanks to whoever created it.
It took seconds in our new vitamix.(and the vitamix cleans in seconds)
We used Over the Moon fat free milk to avoid some fat and Sriracha
sauce rather than cayenne pepper.
This goes on our "make it often" list

I think this is an elegant soup and so easy to make. To add additional flavor to the soup I used a spicy seafood rub on the shrimp, broiled them until just done, and then refrigerated them until time to use them. Also, instead of using shrimp, I would like to try scattering crab across the top of the soup. For more texture you could serve chopped vegetables such as tomato and avocado to add to the soup.

Lovely, simple recipe for a summer night. Yes to adding spice! I added a good dose of smokey paprika, doubled the lime, and added a piquant topping recommended by another avocado soup maker (made by whipping creme fraiche and smashed chipotle peppers in a small blender). Cilantro added to the flavor festival and I don't think parsley would work as well, but have a go! This recipe is a keeper.

Made this for an amuse bouche starter for Easter dinner. Used half and half instead of milk. Serving in small but fancy wine glasses with three shrimp curled on the rim and a drop of chili sauce.

I used unsweetened coconut milk with a splash of hot sauce as opposed to cayenne...either is good I just prefer Tabasco. I also splashed a little fish sauce in simply because I love fish sauce. Sometimes I use it on rice with lime juice as a light lunch.

This didn't do it for me. I opted for no shrimp but the soup was gelatinous and not easy to look at. Not much flavor- tried adding in olive oil and fleur de sel to no avail.

I use a combination of half and half with lower fat milk. Actually any combination of cream and lower fat milk works great. I add as much milk mixture to make it the thickness I like. Served in large wine glasses is impressive. Be careful when adding other ingredients that you don't create runny guamole.

Just made this and it is chilling. I like the sriracha suggestion and will try it. Thanks.

Agreed on the need to kick it up a bit. The cayenne is great but it needed more depth. I tossed in a generous handful of cilantro when blitzing in the food processor and next time will wrr even more, and perhaps a little more lime juice. That said, it's a lovely summer soup. The suggestion for using half and half is great for a luxurious option.
