I had all the ingredients on hand so I thought I would push myself to try something new.
Avocado and Bacon Soup
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 pound bacon
1 medium onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 quart chicken stock
2 avocados - peeled, pitted, and chopped
1/2 cup white wine
1 lime, juiced
1 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until evenly brown.
Drain, reserving 1 tablespoon grease in the skillet, chop, and set
aside. Place onion and celery in the skillet, and cook until tender.
2. Transfer the onion and celery to a blender or food processor.
Pour in 1/2 the chicken stock, add avocados, and blend until smooth.
3. Transfer blender mixture to a large pot over medium heat. Whisk
in remaining stock, wine, lime juice, and heavy cream. Season with
salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until heated through, but do
not boil. Garnish with chopped bacon to serve.
