Will this oup with avocados in it keep? (Hockey Monkey, this is your fault.)

I intend to try this recipe posted in a soup recipe thread:

[QUOTE=Hockey Monkey]

1 avocado - skin removed and sliced
1 large sweet potato peeled and cubed - (I use 2)
2 chipolte peppers diced - (I use only 1)
2 cloves of garlic minced
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
1 tbsp honey
juice of 1 lime
3-4 cups of water

optional toppings
cilantro
tortilla chips or strips
sour cream
sliced avocado
torn baby spinach
shredded cooked chicken

In a medium soup pot or dutch oven add all ingredients EXCEPT the lime juice. Add 3 1/2 cups of water to the pot over medium to high heat bring to a boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender - remove from heat and blend to desired consistency with an immersion blender or a stand blender (batch blending with the top vented allowing the steam to escape).
Add the additional 1/2 cup of water if desired (or more until consistency you desire is reached). Add the juice of 1 lime and stir.

Eat as is, or top with whatever you desire. I love it with shredded chicken and a dollop of sour cream.

I intend to cook as directed, but I’m also going to make some slight modifications by throwing in some veggies and some shredded chicken (let it simmer a while) to make it more filling.

My plan is to make a big ol’ pot of this and save the left overs for my lunches next week.

Do you guys think this recipe will keep? I know it doesn’t take long for avocados to turn brown.

Thanks.

the lime juice should stop the avocado browning, but I don’t know if it will stay nice for long.

The avocadoes are cut up and cooked and pureed in the soup, right? Then they’ll have done all the turning they’re going to do by the time you’ve ladled your first bowl of soup.

Yes, it will keep in the fridge for a few days. I’d add the lime juice to each bowl before I eat it, though, for a fresher flavor, rather than into the whole pot.

It keeps for a few days just fine. It also freezes well. Hope you like it! It’s one of my favorite soups, plus it’s extremely nutritious.

It looks very very yummy. I will be stealing the recipe in the near future. :slight_smile:
