Yield 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 large ripe but firm avocados
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
2 heaping tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 large clove garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 serrano or jalapeño chile, seeds removed for less heat if desired, or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon toasted and ground cumin seeds
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
Kosher or sea salt
For the salsa:
1 large plum (Roma) tomato, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/4 cup finely minced white onion
2 heaping tablespoons chopped cilantro
1/2 serrano or jalapeño chile, seeds removed for less heat if desired, finely minced
1 small clove garlic, finely minced
Kosher or sea salt
Freshly squeezed lime juice

Steps:

  • Halve and pit the avocados. Set aside half an avocado for the salsa. Put the remaining avocado flesh in a blender with the buttermilk, yogurt, cilantro, garlic, chile, and cumin. Blend until smooth. Taste and add more chile if desired, and then blend again. Transfer to a bowl and stir in enough cold water to thin the soup to a pleasing consistency, about 1/2 cup. Stir in the lime juice, or more to taste, and season with salt. Chill thoroughly.
  • Just before serving, prepare the salsa: In a bowl, stir together the tomato, onion, cilantro, chile, and garlic. Cut the reserved avocado half into 1/4-inch dice and fold it in gently, and then season to taste with salt and lime juice and stir again gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
  • If the soup has thickened in the refrigerator, whisk in ice water to thin it to the desired consistency. Taste for seasoning. Divide among 6 bowls. Top each serving with a spoonful of salsa and serve.
