Ingredients

For the soup:

  • 1 bottle (235 mL) Vanilla Ensure® Regular
  • 500 mL (2 cups) ready-to-use vegetable broth
  • 3 medium avocados, quartered
  • Juice and zest of 1 lime
  • 125 mL (½ cup) fresh coriander
  • 5 mL (1 tsp) ground cumin
  • 2 mL (½ tsp) salt
  • 2 mL (½ tsp) pepper

For the garnish (optional):

  • 250 mL (1 cup) frozen or canned corn kernels
  • 3 strips of bacon†

How to make

  1. Combine all soup ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. In a medium non-stick pan, over medium-high heat, cook bacon until extra crisp (well done).
  3. Remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel to help absorb the excess fat. Let cool to room temperature. Once cooled, crumble bacon with hands.
  4. In the same pan, sauté corn kernels until lightly browned, about
    5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  5. Once soup has chilled, portion into bowls and garnish with roasted corn and bacon.

Tips

In a hurry? Refrigerate Ensure® and broth ahead of time to reduce chilling time.

Try fresh basil and lemon instead of coriander and lime.

† For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon.
