Ingredients

3 large avocados, cut into chunks

2 (14-oz.) cans vegetable broth

1/4 tsp ground red pepper

1 tsp salt, divided

1/2 cup buttermilk

4 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, divided

1/4 cup off-dry white wine (Riesling) (optional)

1/2 pound medium-size peeled and deveined, cooked shrimp

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 tsp lemon zest

Fresh chives, chopped for garnish

Directions

Process first 3 ingredients (avocados, vegetable broth, and red pepper) and 1/4 tsp. salt in a blender until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides.

Transfer avocado mixture to a bowl; stir in buttermilk, 3 Tbsp. lemon juice, and, if desired, wine until smooth. Place plastic wrap directly on soup, and chill at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.

During last 15 minutes of chill time for avocado mixture, combine shrimp, olive oil, lemon zest, and remaining 1 Tbsp. lemon juice and 3/4 tsp. salt, and let stand 15 minutes.

Ladle soup into small bowls, and top each with shrimp. Garnish with chopped chives if desired.
