- 100 g Avocado
- 60 ml Heavy cream
- ½ Lime
- 0.1 tsp Salt
- 40 g Cucumber (optional)
- 1 Serrano chilies (optional)
- 8 g Cilantro (optional)
- 20 g Pumpkin seeds (pepitas) (optional)
Method
- Halve the avocado and spoon the flesh out, peel and roughly dice the cucumber, scrape the seeds from the chilli and squeeze the lime.
- Blend the avocado, cucumber, chilli, lime juice, cream and salt with enough iced water to loosen it, stopping when the soup is pale green with no fleck left in it.
- Press a sheet of film onto the surface and chill it right down, since the soup tastes flat while it is still cool rather than cold.
- Toast the pumpkin seeds dry in a small pan, shaking them constantly, until they swell and start snapping against the sides.
- Pour the cold soup into a chilled bowl and scatter the pepitas and torn coriander over it.
