Recipe - Avocado And Cucumber Soup (No Cooking Required)

2 md Cuccumbers. seed if the
seeds are large. peel if
waxed or not grown
organically. chop, reserve
1 C
2 Nice and ripe avocados;
pitted and peeled
5 Cloves of garlic
One half cup Packed fresh parsley don't
bother to mince, just wash
2 cup Plain non fat yoghurt
1 cup Water (or 1 C ice cubes)
3 Chopped scallions
White pepper

In a bowl, combine all but 1 C of the cuccumber, avocadoes, garlic,
parsley, yoghurt, water or ice cubes, pepper. In a blender puree this
mixture in batches until smooth, transfering it to a bowl or pitcher.. When
everything is blended, add in the reserved cup of cukes and the scallions.
Mix and chill at least 1 hour.

Variation: I don't recommend this, but I did see someone put vodka into his
bowl of soup once. He said that if we can mix vodka with tomato juice, why
not with avocado and cuccumbers.... Posted to fatfree digest V97 #179 by
