    Yield: 4 Servings

    2 tb Avocado oil
    1 tb Walnut oil
    +=OR=+
    3 tb Fruity olive oil
    1 md Yellow onion; chopped
    4 cl Garlic; peeled, minced
    1 1/2 Inch piece ginger; peeled,
    - minced
    3 Serranos or jalapenos;
    - stemmed, seeded, minced
    4 c Chicken broth *
    3 lg Ripe Haas avocados
    2 Limes
    1/2 c Sour cream
    2 tb Half & half
    1/4 c Cilantro leaves; very finely
    - minced
    1 ts Ground Coriander
    Salt
    1 bn Radishes; 10-12

    * Use two cans of chicken broth w/a little water or 1 paper
    carton (32 oz).

    Heat the Avocado oil or two tablespoons of the olive oil in
    a saucepan and add chopped onion. Saute for 5 minutes and
    add garlic, ginger and 2 of the peppers. Saute for another 5
    minutes. Add the stock, simmer for 10 minutes and remove
    from heat. While the stock and vegetables are simmering, cut
    the Avocados in half and seed and peel them. Chop the
    Avocados, toss them with the juice of 1 lime and place about
    half the Avocado in a blender container. Add hot stock and
    vegetables until container is about 3/4 full and process
    until the mixture is smooth and liquid. Chill the soup
    thoroughly, preferably for several hours.

    To make the cilantro cream, stir the sour cream and
    half-and-half together, add the chopped cilantro, the
    remaining chili pepper, the ground coriander and salt to
    taste. Chill until you are ready to use it. Cut the radishes
    in small julienne and toss with the walnut oil or the
    remaining olive oil, the juice of 1/2 lime and salt to
    taste. Chill until you are ready to use them.

    Taste the chilled soup and add salt and more lime juice to
    taste. Ladle it into chilled soup bowls. Top each serving
    with a tablespoon of cilantro cream and a tablespoon of
    julienned radishes.

    Variation: This soup is also delicious when served hot and
    is an ideal opening to a hearty Mexican meal.
