God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Jim Boice had all the academic credentials a person could ever want to go to the top of the ladder in the academic world, but that was not his call. His call was to be a pastor. For over thirty years he broke open the Word of God in his preaching, in his teaching, and in his writings. Fidelity to Scripture is what drove him, and a more courageous Christian I have never met.

The avocado in this soup turns a traditional potato-based soup into
something the French would never recognize! Because of the richness of the
avocado, we can use milk instead of cream without compromising the texture.
1. Steam or boil the potatoes until soft and let cool. Meanwhile, roast,
peel, and seed the poblanos. Roast the tomatillos and onions until lightly
charred.
2. Combine the roasted vegetables and potatoes in a food processor or
blender and puree. Add the serrano chile, cilantro, mint, lime juice,
ginger, and avocado and puree until smooth, adding milk as necessary to
facilitate the blending. Transfer to a bowl or storage container and thin
to the desired texture with milk. Add salt and pepper to taste. Chill.
3. Taste the chilled soup for seasoning and correct if necessary. Mix the
sour cream and chipotle chile together and drizzle over each bowl soup as a
garnish.
Note: Normally this soup is served cold, but it can be reheated gently
and served warm. If you prefer it less spicy, leave out the chipotle
garnish and simply garnish with a sprig cilantro. Typos by Brenda Adams
