Ms Zimmy Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 A friend just sent me these two...I would modify them a little. Avocado SoupINGREDIENTS:2 avocado - peeled, pitted and diced 1 tablespoon chopped shallots 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 cups chicken stock 1 cup heavy cream salt and pepper to taste 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 tomato - peeled, seeded and diced DIRECTIONS:Puree avocado in a blender or food processor until smooth. Sautee chopped shallots in olive oil until tender but not brown; set aside to cool. In a large bowl, whisk together avocado with chicken stock, heavy cream and shallots until smooth. Stir in salt, pepper and nutmeg; adjust seasonings to taste. Chill for at least half an hour before serving. Garnish with diced tomato. Chilled Beet SoupINGREDIENTS:1 1/2 cups sour cream 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1/2 small onion 1 cup cooked beets 1 cup crushed ice DIRECTIONS:Place sour cream, lemon juice, onion and beets into a food processor or blender and puree until mixture is smooth. Add ice or cold water, chill and serve with a dollop of sour cream on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms.Huxtable Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Mmm, I love cold cucumber soup and melon soups with mint. Tomato gazpacho never really did it for me though, I don't know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I remember seeing an episode of Bravo's "Arts & Minds", and it had a segment on a well-known Asian chef in Toronto; they followed him into the market (Kensington Market, I assume) and he found some winter melon, which he picked up immediately, to make a cold winter melon and crab soup for that night's menu.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamH Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I hate gazpacho. It's kind of a "gay" item and by that I don't mean homosexual I mean it's bright and cheery food. Like the original use of "gay". So you could say "My, what a lovely gay gazpacho you've made me" but that might open you up to a gay bashing of sorts.

Freak By Night Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Lisa: You don't have to eat meat! I've got enough gazpacho for everyone... It's tomato soup, served ice cold! Barney: Go back to Russia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
