Seven soups every Saturday: avocado soup recipes

Avocados don't grow on trees here in Rhode Island, so rather than being seasonal fruits, they're a year-round-but-from-somewhere-else food. In the winter, I usually dice them for salads. In summer, I make soup, and I hope you do, too. Choose Hass avocados, the flavorful ones with black pebbly skin. To find a ripe one, press on the outside ever so slightly. If there's no give, it's underripe. If you can make a defined dent, it's overripe. You can ripen avocados on the counter top, and hold them at their peak in the refrigerator for up to one week.

I haven't made soup with avocados, but I do love the idea of it! I think this is the summer I need to finally try it and these look great.

Thanks for mentioning my soup. I really want to try Stephanie's chipotle version. I love anything with chipotle!
