CHILLED AVOCADO SOUP

My new blogger friend, The Blushing Hostess, emailed me the other day, to say she had a bushel of avocados that needed to be used in a good recipe. Our Chilled Avocado Soup is the perfect choice this time of year. I am always happy to share a Doves Nest recipe. Thanks Catherine...enjoy.

CHILLED AVOCADO SOUP
Yields 10-12 servings

4 ripe avocados, peeled, seeded
1 clove of garlic, minced
4 green onions, chopped
5 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped jalapenos with juice
½ teaspoon Tabasco sauce
3 cups sour cream
1 cup buttermilk
8 cups chicken broth, chilled, fat removed
Slat and pepper to taste
Chopped green onions

Process the avocados, garlic, 4 green onions, cilantro, jalapenos and Tabasco sauce in a blender until smooth. Add the sour cream. Process until blended.
Pour into a large bowl. Stir in the buttermilk and chicken broth.
