Avocado Soup Gerald

 This is another of Hi-Ho's recipes from New York Times cookbook and I am including it because I just love the name and I wish there was a backstory. 

 

Ingredients

1 to 2 ripe avocados

Several drops onion juice

1 cup chicken broth/Consomme

1/2 cup sour cream 

1/2 cup light sweet cream

freshly ground salt and pepper, to taste 

paprika for serving 

 

Process

1. Wash and peel enough avocado to make one cup. 

 

2. Combine all ingredients in an electric blender, or mash the avocado and beat with the other ingredients until smooth and well blended.  

 

3. Store the mixture in a covered jar in the refrigerator until chilled. 

 

4. Correct the seasonings and top each serving with a sprinkle of paprika
