Jamaican Chilled Avocado Soup With Fresh Ginger And Lime Crema
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger, peeled and grated (about 1 ounce)
- 2 large ripe avocados, peeled and mashed
- 4 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 green onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup half-and-half
- Salt and freshly grated black pepper
- LIME CREMA:
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
- Melt the butter in a saucepan and cook the onions for about 4 minutes, until softened. Add the ginger and continue to cook an additional 2 minutes. Add the avocado and chicken stock and whisk to combine. Simmer soup over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. Add the green onion and transfer the soup to a blender and puree, in batches if necessary, until very smooth. Stir in the half-and-half and salt and pepper, to taste. Chill thoroughly before serving.
- To make the lime crema, stir together the sour cream, lime juice, garlic, and salt. When the soup has chilled, garnish each portion with a generous dollop of crema.
