Rich, deliciously satisfying blender soup. A great fall or winter soup. Probably would be nice with some fresh lemon slices or wedges in summer. I like to serve it at room temperature rather than chilled to the bone.

• 3 avocados
• 1 pint chicken broth
• 1/2 cup pistachios
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 cup cream
• ¼ tsp cayenne
• 1 Tb fresh Cilantro
• salt to taste

Halve all avocados and remove pit. Use a spoon to scoop out the meat and place in blender or cuisinart.

Add garlic, cayenne, and ½ the pistachios. Blend, adding chicken broth slowly to allow blender to chop garlic.

Add remaining broth and cream as necessary to achieve a liquid consistency.

Serve cold using remaining pistachios and chopped cilantro as a garnish

Serves 6-8
