Steps:
- Make soup:
- Roast corn on rack of gas burner over high heat, turning occasionally with tongs, until kernels are charred in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. (Alternatively, heat a dry well-seasoned cast-iron skillet and roast corn over moderately high heat, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes.) Transfer corn to a cutting board and, when cool enough to handle, cut kernels from cob with a sharp knife, then cut cob into thirds.
- Bring kernels, cob pieces, 4 cups water, garlic, salt, and 1/2 cup onion to a boil in a 3-quart saucepan and boil until liquid is reduced to about 3 cups, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool, uncovered. Discard cob pieces.
- Purée corn mixture along with chile and remaining 3/4 cup onion in a blender, then pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on and then discarding solids. Return broth to cleaned blender.
- Quarter, pit, and peel 1 avocado, then add to blender with 2 tablespoons lime juice and purée until smooth. Transfer soup to a bowl and cover surface with plastic wrap. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill soup at least 1 hour.
- Prepare cilantro oil while soup chills:
- Purée cilantro, oil, and salt in cleaned blender, scraping down sides of blender several times. Pour oil into cleaned fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl and let drain 15 minutes (do not press on solids). Discard solids.
- Assemble soup:
- Halve and pit remaining avocado and scoop small balls from flesh with melon-ball cutter, then toss gently with remaining tablespoon lime juice in a bowl.
- Whisk together crema and remaining 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl until smooth.
- Season soup with salt and ladle into 6 shallow soup bowls. Divide avocado balls among bowls, then drizzle with crema and cilantro oil.

I crave this avocado soup every summer and have since I was a kid! I have no idea where my mom got the idea for this chilled soup. People who like guacamole and garlic/lemon flavors are likely to love this. Can be stored in the fridge for a couple days also.

COLD CUCUMBER AND AVOCADO SOUP
Steps:
- Directions: Trim ends off cucumbers, taste each end and trim off any bitter part. Cut cucumbers in cubes. If they are very large with mature seeds, remove seeds; the soft-skinned varieties of cucumbers do not have to be peeled. Wash the watercress, remove any heavy stems and chop roughly. Combine half the cucumber and most of the lemon juice in a blender and puree. The cucumber will soon be a liquid. Add remaining cucumber, garlic, jalapeño and watercress. Puree until smooth. Work in batches if you need to. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and cut the flesh into cubes; you should have not quite a cup of diced avocado. Add avocado to the cucumber puree, along with a teaspoon of sea salt and process again. The mixture will become thicker and creamier. Stir everything together in a bowl and taste. Add more lemon and more salt, a bit at a time and stirring thoroughly each time, until the balance tastes right to you. Chill the soup well. Serve in small bowls, and drizzle each serving with a little fresh, fruity olive oil. Then scatter a few tomato cubes and croutons on top.
