2 tablespoons lemon juice

5 cups light cream

1 teaspoon Tabasco

salt and white pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, pulse one quart of stock, the avocados and the lemon juice until it reaches a smooth consistency.
  2. Pour into large mixing bowl and stir in cream and remaining stock. Mix well and chill until ready to serve.
  3. Add salt and white pepper to taste, and mix in red quinoa before serving. Garnish with fresh chives. As is, this recipe is vegetarian; those who eat seafood may want to try adding crabmeat for a twist, as pictured.
