Avocado Soup

Ingredients
4 ripe avocados
2 cups chicken consommé/broth
1 cup sour cream
1 cup table cream
ground ginger
paprika
salt and pepper, to taste


Directions
Peel and dice avocados. Combine in blender with onion juice, consommé or broth, sour cream and table cream. Blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and ginger. Store in covered, opaque container in refrigerator until chilled and ready to serve. Top with additional sour cream if you like and sprinkle with paprika.

Note: plain yogurt can be substituted for the sour cream for a somewhat more healthful dish. Be sure to pour off any excess water in the yogurt before adding to other ingredients.
