​Instructions: Preparing Your Crema de Aguacate

​Follow these simple steps to create a rich, smooth, and perfectly chilled soup:

​1 : Combine the Core Ingredients: In a high-powered blender, combine the peeled and pitted avocados, lime juice, chopped onion, garlic, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

​2 : Add Liquid: Gradually pour in the chilled broth and heavy cream (or half-and-half).

3 : ​Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until it is completely smooth and free of any chunks. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender a few times to ensure uniformity.

​4 : Check Consistency: If the soup is too thick for your liking, slowly add the ice water until you achieve a pourable, creamy consistency.

​5 : Final Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning. Add more salt, pepper, or lime juice to sharpen the flavours as needed.

​6 : Chill to Perfection: Pour the soup into an airtight container or a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours. This is a crucial step—the chilling time allows all the flavours to fully meld and bloom.

​7 : Serve and Garnish: Ladle the perfectly chilled soup into individual bowls. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, a drizzle of olive oil, a wedge of lime, or diced tomato/avocado for added texture.

​Pro-Tip & Serving Suggestions

​Prevent Oxidation: To prevent the avocado from browning while chilling, make sure to use all the specified lime juice. The acid helps maintain the vibrant green colour.

​Serving: Serve this soup alongside crispy tortilla chips, a side of grilled shrimp, or a fresh summer salad for a complete meal.
