This is very rich so only small
servings are suggested. Great for a starter for a nice dinner.
2 large avocados
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups whipping cream
2 tbsp. cognac or brandy
2 tbsp. sherry
Optional garnishes: Crabmeat, baby shrimp, diced tomatoes or chives
Peel avocados and dice pulp.
Puree pulp in blender with the chicken broth.
Season to taste with salt
and pepper. Gradually stir in whipping cream. Chill.
Add
sherry and cognac right before serving. Garnish if you like with any of
the above options or use your
imagination. If you like you can use the avocado
shells as serving dishes. Just keep
them intact and set them
in a bowl of ice and fill with soup.
