Soup Making Tips -
Avocado

	Actually a fruit, the avocado acts more like a vegetable in soup preparation, creating and garnishing some of our favorite savory soups.

Soup Making Tips -
Avocado

	The pit and peel need to be removed, leaving the green and yellow flesh for consumption. Cut the avocado lengthwise around the entire avocado, and separate the halves. Twist a little if necessary. Remove the pit. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, or cut the avocado in slices or dices and invert the peel, and trim off the flesh.
