Avocado Jalapeno Soup

Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, and sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

2. Add the chopped jalapenos to the pot, stirring occasionally for another 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.

3. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into the pot. Stir well to combine with the onion, garlic, and jalapenos.

4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

5. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Be cautious with hot liquids in the blender.

6. Stir in the heavy cream and lime juice, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed to suit your preferences.

7. Serve the Avocado Jalapeno Soup hot, garnished with optional toppings like chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, or crispy tortilla strips for added texture.
