Cuisine: Swedish
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon dill, chopped
- Salt to taste
- 1 cup Vasterbottensost cheese, grated
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all the ingredients. Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
- Add the vegetable broth, Greek yogurt, and chopped dill to the blender with the avocado. Season with salt to taste.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until it is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well combined.
- Once blended, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt if necessary. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a little more vegetable broth and blend again.
- Transfer the soup to a bowl or container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to chill and allow the flavors to meld.
- While the soup is chilling, prepare the Vasterbottensost crisps. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Grate the Vasterbottensost cheese and place small mounds (about 1 tablespoon each) on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
- Bake the cheese mounds in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are melted and golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
- Once done, remove the crisps from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes until they harden.
- After the soup has chilled, ladle it into serving bowls. Garnish each bowl with a few Vasterbottensost crisps on top.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Cool Avocado Soup with Vasterbottensost Crisps!
Tips
- Choose Ripe Avocados: Ensure your avocados are perfectly ripe for a smooth and creamy texture. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure when squeezed.
- Chill for Flavor: Allow the soup to chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. This not only enhances the flavors but also makes it extra refreshing.
- Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thinner soup, gradually add more vegetable broth until you reach your desired consistency.
- Watch the Cheese: When baking the Vasterbottensost crisps, keep an eye on them to prevent burning. They should be golden brown and crispy, so check them frequently!
- Garnish Creatively: Feel free to add additional garnishes like fresh dill or a drizzle of olive oil for an extra touch of elegance and flavor.
- Serve Immediately: For the best texture and taste, serve the soup immediately after garnishing. The crisps are best enjoyed fresh and crunchy!
