This is from the new Hell's Backbone Grill cookbook, "with A Measure of Grace, the Story and Recipes of a Small Town Restaurant." It's delicious and different, and not overwhelmingly spicy.
Cream of Avocado and Jalapeño Soup
Serves 6
7 jalapeño peppers, stemmed and seeded
2 Tbsp. Butter
1 cup finely diced sweet yellow onion
4 cloves of minced garlic
1/2 cup diced Haas avocado
2 cups diced fresh or roasted tomatoes
8 cups heavy cream
1 bunch cilantro, stemmed and chopped
sea salt and pepper to taste
Carefully mince jalapeños and chop onions, then slow cook in butter in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add garlic and stir until onions are translucent. Turn heat off and add avocados, tomatoes, and cream. Turn heat to low and carefully bring to a simmer. Cook at a gentle simmer for 30 minutes. Stir often to keep liquid from scorching. Add generous amounts of salt, cracked black pepper and cilantro. Garnish with edible flower petals and cilantro leaves.
Enjoy!
