Ingredients

• 2 cups diced avocados
• 2 cups cold chicken broth
• 1-2 cup cold milk
• 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh cilantro or chives
• 1 tomato, peeled, seeded, and finely diced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper (to taste)
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

1. 1

   Puree the avocados with the chicken broth in a blender until smooth. Pour in enough milk to make a thick but pourable soup. (may not use all 2 cups, may use less).

2. 2

   Add the lemon juice and season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne to bring out the delicate flavors.

3. 3

   Garnish with the cilantro and tomato. Serve at once, because the soup tends to discolor rapidly.
