Sopa de Aguacate

AVOCADO CREAM SOUP

To serve 8

3 large ripe avocados, peeled, halved, seeded and diced (see salsa guasacaca, page 13)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
6 cups chicken stock, fresh or canned
1/4 cup pale dry sherry (optional)

1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
3 tortillas (page 15), quartered and fried until crisp, or 1 ripe avocado, peeled and thinly sliced

Purée the diced avocados in 3 batches, combining 1/3 of the dice and 1/2 cup of cream at a time in the jar of a blender and blending at high speed for 30 seconds. (To make the purée by hand, force the diced avocados with the back of a large spoon through a sieve set over a bowl. Beat the cream into the purée, a few tablespoons at a time.) In a 3-quart enameled or stainless-steel saucepan, bring the stock to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to low, and when the stock is simmering, stir in the avocado purée. Add the sherry, salt and pepper, and taste for seasoning. To serve the soup hot, pour it into a tureen and strew the top with tortilla quarters or avocado slices. Or refrigerate and serve it cold.
