Avocado soup is a fruit soup prepared using avocados as a primary ingredient.[1][2][3] Ingredients used in its preparation in addition to ripe avocados can include milk, cream, half-and-half or buttermilk, soup stock or broth, water, lime juice, lemon juice, salt and pepper.[1][2][3][4][5] Additional ingredients used can include onions, shallots, garlic, hot sauce, cilantro, red pepper, cayenne pepper and cumin, and water can be used to thin the soup.[2][3][6][4][7] It is enjoyed widely in areas of Mexico as a classic dish.
The avocados are typically puréed or mashed, and sliced, diced or cubed avocado can be used as a garnish.[1][2][3][8][9] Additional garnishes can include sliced lime, sour cream, chives, crab meat, shrimp and salsa fresca.[2][3][4][10] It can be prepared and served as a cold or hot soup.[1][2][3]
Avocado soup's color can change as time passes because oxidation causes avocados to brown, but this does not affect the soup's flavor.[4] It can be a relatively easy dish to prepare that does not require a great deal of time.[10]
