I used a Texas cookbook several years ago to make this soup . It was really good , I cheated and used canned tomatoes . I keep forgetting to make it again .
this soup Ingredients:
1-1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 fresh jalapeņos, stemmed and seeded
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 avocado, peeled and diced
2 cups chopped peeled and seeded tomatoes
8 cups heavy cream
1 bunch cilantro, stemmed and chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Preparation:
Mince the jalapeņos and set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the jalapeņos, onion and garlic and sauté, stirring, until vegetables are softened (not browned).
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the avocado, tomatoes and cream. Lower the temperature and return pan to heat, watching and stirring so the cream does not separate. Bring the soup slowly back to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for about 50 to 60 minutes or until reduced by one-third. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
Season with salt and pepper. Just before serving, stir in the chopped cilantro, reserving some for garnish. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with the remaining cilantro.
