snow and prawn bisque

as you probably already guessed from the title, it snowed today! ah joy!

i just realized yesterday that spring was supposed to begin next month, so the weather should be getting warmer. and i felt sad because i just bought a poofy winter jacket and boots during the boxing day sales and it would be quite wasted if i didnt get to wear them enough. so the snow this morning and afternoon (and even now!) really perked me up! imma wear my poofy jacket tomorrow!

also, on the way home, i bought some avocados and cherries. the cherries were delightfully sweet :D however, i didnt really know what to do with the avocadoes since i rarely ever buy them. i bought them because i know they are bursting with vitamins (remember the "try a new ingredient" thing i had going?).

i did know that the people here used avocados in cooking, so i researched some recipes and came across a really simple one of which i had most ingredients, and just adapted it to fit what i had stored.

super simple chicken and avocado prawn bisque:
1 can baxters chicken broth
1 avocado
small bowl of cooked prawns
some milk

1. puree the prawns and avocado together, adding milk so that the paste wont be too sticky.
2. heat up the chicken broth and mix the paste into the broth. it will produce a creamy soup. dont overboil.
3. serve and nom!

so easy right??? my first attempt at a bisque and it was delicious! err... ok la, kinda cheating coz i used canned soup also =p
