Great refreshing appetizer. Serve in a champagne or martini glass...let the party begin. From Southern Living. The long prep time is for chilling the soup. Ingredients:
3 large avocados, cut into chunks |
2 (14-oz.) cans vegetable broth |
1/4 tsp ground red pepper |
1 tsp salt, divided |
1/2 cup buttermilk |
4 tbsp fresh lemon juice, divided |
1/4 cup off-dry white wine (riesling) (optional) |
1/2 pound medium-size peeled and deveined, cooked shrimp |
1 tbsp olive oil |
1 tsp lemon zest |
fresh chives, chopped for garnish |
Directions:
1. Process first 3 ingredients (avocados, vegetable broth, and red pepper) and 1/4 tsp. salt in a blender until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides.
2. Transfer avocado mixture to a bowl; stir in buttermilk, 3 Tbsp. lemon juice, and, if desired, wine until smooth. Place plastic wrap directly on soup, and chill at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
3. During last 15 minutes of chill time for avocado mixture, combine shrimp, olive oil, lemon zest, and remaining 1 Tbsp. lemon juice and 3/4 tsp. salt, and let stand 15 minutes.
4. Ladle soup into small bowls, and top each with shrimp. Garnish with chopped chives if desired.
