1 small yellow onion, coarsely chopped
1 jalapeno, seeds removed, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
3 ripe avocados
1 1/2 cups fresh corn, cut from 1 or 2 cobs. (frozen may be used, but when in season, you cannot beat fresh corn!)

To the bowl of vegetables, add the avocado puree, diced avocado, fresh corn, tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, cold water, and salt and pepper. Mix gently with a large spoon. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ice cold. Ladle into soup bowls and serve.
