ingredients
- 3 large ripe avocados
- 1 chicken breast, cooked and diced
- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 cup white wine
- 2 cups plain yogurt, strained if it looks watery, in a sieve lined with a coffee filter, to remove excess liquid
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 8 orange sections, to garnish
- 8 mint leaves, to garnish (otional)
directions
- Peel the avocados, remove the stones and chop roughly.
- Combine the avocado, diced chicken, orange juice, orange zest, wine, yoghurt, salt and ground cinnamon, then process in a blender or food processor until well-blended.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Garnish with orange segments and mint or add an orange-iceblock to each bowl - and serve.
- Chef's Notes: If you are able to plan ahead, cook an extra chicken breast a day or two before when preparing another meal. However, if you are short of time or want to make this a vegetarian soup, instead of the diced chicken breast, add an additional avocado. You can, of course, also vary the orange juice-wine ratio.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
