Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

Render the Bacon (10 minutes): In a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crisp and golden brown. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels to drain, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the pot.

02

Step
8 mins

Sauté the Aromatics (8 minutes): Add the chopped onion and celery to the reserved bacon fat in the pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.

03

Step
5 mins

Blend the Base (5 minutes): Transfer the sautéed onion and celery to a high-powered blender or food processor. Add half of the chicken stock (2 cups) and the chopped avocados. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.

04

Step
10 mins

Combine and Simmer (10 minutes): Pour the blended avocado mixture back into the pot. Whisk in the remaining chicken stock, white wine, lime juice, and heavy cream. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

05

Step
5 mins

Heat Through (5 minutes): Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the soup is heated through. Be careful not to boil, as this can affect the texture and flavor. Adjust seasoning as needed.

06

Step
2 mins

Serve (2 minutes): Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the reserved crispy bacon, a dollop of sour cream (if desired), and a sprinkle of lime zest. Serve immediately with plenty of crusty bread for dipping.

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.
