Avocado & Truffle Salt Soup Shots
Simple, easy and delicious this Vegan soup is just the perfect starter for a summer meal paired with any of our chilled white wines.
Ingredients
Avocados, peeled and pitted
·
3
Sweet basil, chopped
·
1 cup
Balsamic Vinegar, white
·
1/2 cup
Red onion, chopped
·
1/2 cup
Honey
·
2 tablespoons
Herbie's Shichimi Togarashi
·
1/2 teaspoon
Herbie's Pepper Black Asta (ground)
·
1/2 teaspoon
Truffle Salt

2 teaspoons

Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a blender along with two pints of water. Puree until smooth and creamy then refrigerate until chilled.
Serve in cups or small bowls with minced shallots or herb bread crumbs. Feel free to drizzle a little olive oil across the surface and sprinkle with truffle salt.
Enjoy with a well chilled Joy Sauvignon Blanc, Relish Roussanne or Caress Cuvée Blanc.
Caress Cuvée Blanc, as blended by Bill, is a White Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with a magnificent nose and delicious full mouth feel - an incredible breadth and depth of aroma and taste.
Crisp and elegant this light gold Sauvignon Blanc has the illusion of citrus and passion-fruit on the nose finishing with a lingering soft, dry melon on the palate.
