Here's a receipe for avocado soup I recently tried after
watching a Cajun Cooking Show.
2 cups ripe, cold, avocado
1-1/2 cups cold chicken stock
2 cups cold buttermilk
Put above ingredients in a blender, and liquify. If not eaten
right away, keep on ice until served.
Ripening avocados during the winter in Seattle is a problem. Putting
them on the window sill doesn't work unless you have warm sun coming
through. Julia Child once said that you should put unripe avocados
in a bowl covered with flour. That's the same as putting them on
a window sill in warm weather. Anyway, during the winter, I put them
in a paper bag, and lay them upon the water heater. Works every time,
PDQ.
