If you love avocado, chances are you will never be tired of its usual formats. But in case you wanted to try something different for a change, here is a simple soup recipe. Yep, I said it - avocado soup.

RECIPE

yield: 3-4 servings

1 Tablespoon canola oil

2 cloves garlic, sliced

1 medium-large ripe avocado

14-oz can of vegetable broth

1/2 cup water

10 fresh mint leaves (plus more for garnish)

1/4 teaspoon ground coriander

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

hemp seeds (optional for garnish)

Place oil and garlic in a small pan and cook over medium-low heat until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer garlic to a food processor or blender along with remaining ingredients. Process until smooth and silky. Transfer to a large bowl or container, and chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until ready to serve.
