Curried Avocado Soup & Salad

Since it's so freakin hot I've been eating a lot of salads.  Also found a recipe for chilled avocado soup in the moosewood cookbook (the moosewood cookbooks are all excellent and  a very worthwhile investment for any type of diet however most meals are vegetarian.  None contain meat although a few have fish.

I've modified the recipe slightly from the moosewood and it's so easy - takes a total of about 2 minutes to make.  The salad is my own creation from leftover stuff in the fridge - I rarely use dressings, imo a good salad just needs a little seasoning and oil or a light sheen. 

Curried Avocado Soup (2 servings)

2 avocados
2 1/4 cup veggie broth
1 tsp curry powder
1/8-1/4 tsp white pepper
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup lowfat milk
1-2 TBS of low fat cream cheese
(The moosewood calls for 1/2 cup of heavy cream instead of last two ingredients)

- Put avocado and half the broth in blender.  Blend.
- add rest of ingredients.  Blend.  Chill.  Server.


Arugala Salad w/ blackberries (1 serving)

1/2 cup arugala
1/4 cup goat cheese
blackberries (to your liking)
-mix a bit of olive oil with 1/4 tsp of rice wine vinegar.  Add pepper. Dress salad.

Enjoy!
