Cold Avocado And Cucumber Soup

Recipe adapted from canal house cooking, volume no. 4 by christopher hirsheimer and melissa hamilton. This refreshing chilled soup (from their latest edition) combines rich avocados with crisp cucumbers. It's an ideal dinner for a hot summer night, as it requires no cooking and can be prepped in just a few minutes. Cooking time is chilling time.

Steps

Slice the avocados in half lengthwise , working around the pit.
Twist to separate the halves.
Remove the pit and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh.
Add the avocados , cucumber , garlic , lemon juice and chicken stock to a blender and puree until smooth , working in batches if necessary.
Season with salt and refrigerate until the soup is well chilled.
Divide the soup among four chilled bowls.
Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a dash of hot pepper sauce and serve.
