Hot Avocado And Prawn Soup
Unusual and quickly
made party soup (Serves 4-6, hot)
 |
Preparation
1 small onion,
finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
¾ - 1¼ pints well-flavoured
chicken stock
1 small bay leaf
a blade or pinch of mace
3-4 springs or parsley
2-3 avocados (according to size)
2-3 oz peeled shrimps
Garnish
½ pint double cream
chopped chives or paprika
slivers of fresh avocado
|
|
- Put the onion and celery into the stock
with the bay leaf, mace, springs of parsley
and a little seasoning. Simmer for about 15
minutes to flavour stock. Strain and reserve
stock.
- Peel and remove seeds from avocados, and
chop the flesh roughly. Put into electric
blender, and blend slowly while adding the
stock. When quite smooth, return to pan and
heat very gently, adding the shrimp. Do not
allow to boil, as this will spoil flavour
and texture of soup. Adjust seasoning.
- Whip the cream slightly and add a spoon
of cream to each soup cup. Sprinkle top with
paprika or chopped chives, and add a few thin
slivers of another avocado as party garnish.
