    Tropic Cooking by Joyce LaFray Young

    Recipe Introduction


    The Author says: "Avocado and fresh ginger are the key ingredients in this most distinctive soup. And make no mistake, there is nothing quite like fresh ginger. This recipe is prepared at the Hotel Inter-Continental in Ocho Rios, Jamaica." --Joyce LaFray Young

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 cup butter or margarine
    1 medium onion, finely chopped
    1 ounce fresh ginger, peeled and grated
    1 large avocado, peeled and mashed
    2 cups chicken stock
    1 teaspoon black pepper
    1/2 cup light cream
    1 scallion, finely chopped

    Recipe



    Melt the butter in a sautŽ pan. Cook the onions and grated ginger for about 2 minutes. Add the mashed avocado and chicken stock. Mix all ingredients thoroughly, using a wire whisk to eliminate lumps. Simmer slowly for about 10-15 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and cream. Stir and chill for at least an hour. Chill bowls before serving. Garnish each bowl with scallions.
    Yield: 6 servings.
