Avocado Mango soup

I wanted to make a simple quick recipe with the avocado. I did not want to repeat the "guacomole" so tried this recipe.

 Ingredients:

Avocado                     - 1 small
Mango                        - 1 small cup(half ripe or raw chopped)
Mint leaves                 - 4 or 5 leaves
Tomato sauce/paste   - 2 tbsps(optional)
Salt                             - as per taste
Black Pepper powder - as per taste
Sour cream                 - 1 tbsp

Scoop out the avocado into a pan and add the chopped mango pieces to it. Heat this on medium flame until the mango softens and blends with the avocado. Add chopped the mint leaves and tomato paste to the mixture. Let it boil or a few minutes and switch off the stove. Use a hand blender if needed to blend the mixture well. Now add the salt and pepper to this. Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream and mint leaves.
This soup can be served hot or chilled. It goes well as a gravy with rice or chapathi too.



Tips:
1.You can add spices of your choice to flavour the soup.
2.I had my soup with a few chunks of mango and avocado without blending them completely. It can be blended to a smooth mixture if preferred.
3.A tablespoon of nut butter can be added when the avocado mixture is heating in the pan to give a nutty flavour to the soup.
