Chilled Avocado Soup

3 Medium Ripe Avocados
1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
2 Tablespoons Red or White Wine, or Dry Sherry if you have it
3/4 Cups Chopped Cucumber, peeled and seeded
1/4 Cups Chopped Scallion
1 Teaspoon salt
2 Cups Chicken or Vegetable Stock 
Hot Pepper Sauce (optional, I didn't use it)

Cut avocados in half, peel and seed.  Chop and place in blender (or food processor if you have one).  Add lemon juice and blend (you may need to use a spoon to get it all blended).  Add wine/sherry, cucumber and scallion.  Blend again.  Add Stock (I used Chicken this time because it was what I had at home) and blend until smooth.  Salt and blend one more time (if adding hot sauce add it here as well).  Cover and chill in refridgerator.  When ready to eat, serve and add a few extra scallions on top.  You can also add a spoonful of cream or yogurt and swirl (this is mostly for looks and does not add anything to taste).


Sorry Soup does not always take pictures well, this tastes better than it looks, I promise!!!
