Chilled Avocado Soup With Roasted Poblano Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, chile and the garlic and cook until slightly soft, about 2 minutes.
• Season with salt, to taste. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• Put the avocados in a large bowl. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, cilantro, onion mixture, and water. Add, in batches, to a blender and puree until smooth, straining each batch of puree into a large bowl. Stir in the 1 teaspoon of salt and the 1 teaspoon of pepper, then cover and refrigerate until well chilled, about 3 hours.
• Pour the chilled soup into individual bowls. Top each serving with a drizzle of the sour cream. Serve with crostini or croutons, if desired.

Steps:

• To make the soup, peel, pit, and coarsely chop the avocados. Purée them in a food processor with 1/2 cup of the broth, the green onion, lime juice, and tequila, scraping down the sides as needed. With the motor running, add the remaining broth. Season to taste with Tabasco and salt. Transfer the soup to a large lipped measuring cup or bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• To make the roasted poblano cream, roast the chile under the broiler until the skin blackens, turning occasionally to roast evenly, 10 to 15 minutes total. Put the chile in a plastic bag, securely seal it, and set aside to cool. When the chile is cool enough to handle, peel away and discard the skin. Remove the core and seeds and chop the chile.
• Put the chopped poblano in the food processor with the sour cream, cumin, and a pinch of salt. Process until very smooth, scraping the sides once or twice. Transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate until you are ready to serve.

Turn on the oven to 450°F and roast the veggies for 10 to 15 minutes. When ready take out of the oven and proceed roasting the poblano peppers on the stove, peel, clean and cut into thin slices. For the soup pour the fresh coconut milk in a saucepan and simmer until hot. Add avocado inside the blender along with coconut milk. Mix well until getting a smooth consistency. Serve the soup on a bowl and garnish with roasted poblano, roasted zucchini, roasted mushrooms, the fried tortilla strips and top with KRAFT Shredded Pepper Jack Cheese with a TOUCH OF PHILADELPHIA.
