Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done.
[Jim Rohn]

 

Watermelon --it's a good fruit. You eat, you drink, you wash your face.
[ Enrico Caruso]

Fruits are acceptable gifts, because they are the flower of commodities, and admit of fantastic values being attached to them. If a man should send to me to come a hundred miles to visit him, and should set before me a basket of fine summer-fruit, I should think there was some proportion between the labor and the reward.
[ Ralph Waldo Emerson]

1 no ingredients



 

Preparation

1 lb potatoes -- peeled and
: roughly
: cut
3 poblano chiles
4 tomatillos -- husks removed
6 green onions
1 serrano chile -- seeded
1/2 bn cilantro -- large stems
: removed
2 TB mint leaves
2 TB lime jjuice
1 TB candied ginger -- minced
: OR 2 teaspoons grated fresh
: ginger
2 ripe avocados -- peeled,
: seeded, and
: roughly chopped
6 c milk -- up to 8 cups
: Salt and pepper
1/2 c sour cream
1 ts chipotle chile -- pureed

1. Steam or boil the potatoes until soft and let cool. Meanwhile,
roast, peel, and seed the poblanos. Roast the tomatillos and onions
until lightly charred.

2. Combine the roasted vegetables and potatoes in a food processor or
blender and puree. Add the serrano chile, cilantro, mint, lime juice,
ginger, and avocado and puree until smooth, adding milk as necessary
to facilitate the blending. Transfer to a bowl or storage container
and thin to the desired texture with milk. Add salt and pepper to
taste. Chill.

3. Taste the chilled soup for seasoning and correct if necessary. Mix
the sour cream and chipotle chile together and drizzle over each bowl
soup as a garnish.

Note: Normally this soup is served cold, but it can be reheated
gently and served warm. If you prefer it less spicy, leave out the
chipotle garnish and simply garnish with a sprig cilantro. Serves 8
to 10

"The avocado in this soup turns a traditional potato-based soup into
something the French would never recognize! Because of the richness
of the avocado, we can use milk instead of cream without compromising
the texture." Source: Contemporary Southwest, The Terra Cotta
