3 med. cucumbers
1 clove garlic
3 c. chicken broth
3 c. sour cream
3 tbsp. white vinegar
2 tsp. salt
4 med. tomatoes
1/2 c. chopped parsley
1/2 c. sliced green onion
3/4 c. toasted, salted, slivered almonds
1 1/2 c. croutons
1 c. cubed avocado

(Cottage cheese blended until smooth may be substituted for sour cream.)

Peel and chunk cucumbers; combine with garlic and 1/2 cup chicken broth in blender. Blend until smooth. Add remaining chicken broth. Add and stir in sour cream, then vinegar and salt. Chill. Peel and chop tomatoes. Serve in small bowls with tomatoes, parsley, onion, almonds, croutons, and avocado sprinkled on top.

Note: May be made ahead and frozen without sour cream or chicken broth. Add these after thawing.
