Avocado and Bacon Soup

By: MRPAUL1 
"Wonderful way to blend the tastes of avocado and bacon in a warm, hearty soup. Besides the bacon bits, this soup works with a dollop of sour cream and some lime zest. Eat with plenty of crusty bread."

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound bacon
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped

  • 2 avocados - peeled, pitted, and chopped
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
