Now we also know that avocados are rich in beta-sitosterol which helps lower "bad" cholesterol levels.

2 ripe avocados
1 1/2 cups plain soy milk, warmed to room temperature
1 4-ounce can or jar green chilies
1 medium onion, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons dry sherry
Chopped chilies or fresh parsley to garnish

Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Spoon the avocado into a blender and puree. Add remaining ingredients (except garnish) and puree until creamy. Garnish and serve immediately.

Serves 4 to 6.
