For a smoother soup, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve after blending. If you don't have white wine, you can substitute with additional chicken stock or a splash of dry vermouth. Taste and adjust the seasoning frequently, as avocados can vary in flavor. A touch of hot sauce can also add a pleasant kick. This soup is best served immediately. If you need to make it ahead, store the soup base (before adding the cream) in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently and stir in the cream just before serving.
