Raw Recipes - Avocado Soup

Written by Stefanie on May 12, 2009 – 5:01 pm - 4 Comments »


Avocado soup is served cold - it is spicy, full of vitamins and fiber, and it is low in calories.

1 1/2 large ripe avocados
2 tsp salt
2 medium carrots
1 stalk celery
1 bunch cilantro or parsley
Juice from 1 lime
1-2 jalapeño chiles (adjust for your preference - remove seeds to reduce piquancy)
2 cups water

Chop vegetables into a few large pieces. In a food processor or a high speed blender (like a Vitamix) process the carrots first, then add celery. Add water as needed to get the vegetables to blend. Add the lime juice, jalapeño, cilantro or parsley, salt, remaining water and blend until smooth. Add the avocado and blend until well mixed.

Garnish with some sprigs of parsley or cilantro and minced red bell pepper.
