Soup... Soup... Soup... + a Recipe

When is it going to end? The thought of eating cream of whatever soup from a can makes me sick to my stomach. I make it occasionally but really only take a couple of bites because I am not into being physically ill. So the dilemma… It is much easier to buy canned soups and eat them then make it myself but there is no way. I can't eat any more of it. So I made this awesome soup called Avocado and green chili soup given to me by a friend. It is AWESOME. Now this is the soup I can eat... The recipe is as follows

Avocado and Green Chile Soup
Avocados and chilies team up to give this soup its color and flavor. I added to this cilantro and it made it that much more wonderful.

Ingredients:

3 large ripe avocados, peeled, seeded
1/2 onion, quartered
4 cups chicken broth (I used bouillon cubes)
cup half-and-half or whole milk (4-ounce) can ORTEGA® Diced Green Chiles (I blended these to make them smaller)
teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper

Directions:

PLACE avocado and onion in food processor or blender; cover. Process until onion is coarsely chopped. Chop Cilantro separately.
COMBINE broth and half-and-half in large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat to low. Stir in avocado mixture, chilies, cumin, garlic salt and white pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes or until warm. Ladle into bowls. Garnish as desired.
