A cold avocado soup, flavoured with sour cream and dill.
I have to admit that I was a bit sceptical about this soup, but quickly changed my mind once it was on my plate. It is lovely cooling and creamy and can be served as a light lunch with some fresh bread and a salad. Also a great starter for a dinner party.

A creamy cold soup made of avocado and milk, flavooured with sherry.
This is a very special and smooth soup that is great for summer parties. I would recommend using fresh chillies instead of tinned. The sherry I used had a slightly bitter taste, which I did not like in the soup. Maybe I have to try with a better sherry next time or omit it.

This guacamole is really addictive and combines fresh avocado with the slightly sour flavour of tinned chillies. It is great to accompany mexican food such as tacos or fajitas, and also makes an excellent dip for crudités.
Variations: For a change, try using some finely chopped fresh chillies instead of the tinned ones (to taste) and adding 2 tablespoons of yogurt (or soy yogurt) for a fresher taste.
