Roasted Tomatillo and Avocado Soup

I'm still using up those tomatillos. This time I made soup. It's really rich and delicious with really lovely Mexican flavours. If you can get a hold of some tomatillos try this. It can be eaten hot or cold.

Roasted Tomatillo and Avocado Soup (from The Wimpy Vegetarian)
(Serves 4)

500g tomatillos, quartered

1 chilli, quartered

1 white onion, quartered

2 avocados

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

1 tbsp lime juice

250ml vegetable broth

2 tsp chopped fresh oregano

salt and pepper

1 tbsp crème fraiche

1/2 tsp chipotle paste

 

Preheat the oven to 200C.

 

Put the tomatillos, chilli and onions onto a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Cook for 30 mins until they are soft.

 

Put the tomatillos, chilli and onions and one of the avocados into a food processor with the rest of the ingredients and blend until fairly smooth.

 

Cut the other avocado into cubes and add it to the soup and serve.
