Here's a very good, very simple avocado soup recipe from West Africa. 

Soupe D'Avocat

2 ripe avocados
4 cups cold chicken broth
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Peel the avocados and mash them in a food processor or blender until they are a
smooth paste.  Add the paste to the chicken broth, stirring well so the soup is
homogeneous. Add the remaining ingredients, mix thoroughly, and chill in the
refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.  Garnish with fresh chives
and diced avocado bits and serve cold.  

Note:  adjust pepper heat to taste.  I've also used a very small amount of
wasabe paste to liven this up too.
