|
| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Puree the diced avocados in 3 batches, combining 1/3 of the dice and ½ cup of cream at a time in the jar of a blender and blending at high speed for 30 seconds.
|
2. To make the puree by hand, force the diced avocados with the back of a large spoon-through a sieve set over a bowl. Beat the cream into the puree, a few tablespoons at a time.
|
3. In a 3-quart enameled or stainless-steel saucepan, bring the stock to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to low, and when the stock is simmering, stir in the avocado puree.
|
4. Add the sherry, salt and pepper, and taste for seasoning. To serve the soup hot, pour it into a tureen and strew the top with tortilla quarters or avocado slices. Or refrigerate and serve it cold.
