Sam ain't never posted a bad recipe or food photo. The ones of his I've tried have been over the top good. His meatloaf recipe is a killah.
Rumor has it he makes some real fine hot sauce, too. Just rumor!

Toot, I'll be making fresh batches of sauce next month. We can talk. The Avocado soup is a natural for a hot summer evening meal. I often use lump crab meat as a topping for the soup. Cold Avocado Soup Three ripe avocados, peeled and cut into quarters Two cups home made Chicken Stock, or Shrimp Stock Kosher salt, and ground White Pepper ¾ cup heavy Cream
Additional Avocado slices for garnish Fine diced scallions and Parsley, mixed together for garnish and flavor Cold Boiled Shrimp, peeled, or fresh lump crab meat, for garnish.
Put the Avocado pieces and some of the stock through the Cuisinart. Add salt and pepper to taste Add in a bit of fresh Basil if you like that, and a shake of ground Nutmeg
Pour the pureed Avocado Into a small, heavy stainless Steel or Le Creuset pan, and add the remaining Chicken Stock. On medium heat, bring to a boil, then quickly reduce the temperature to a simmer. Add in the heavy Cream, and mix well. Adjust the seasoning. Transfer to a suitable container, and chill for several hours.
Serve in chilled bowls, and garnish with Sprinkle some of the diced scallion/ Parsley on top of each bowl Garnish with Avocado slices and the Chilled Shrimp or Crab meat.

another version that I served often in my last restaurant. It was a hit for catered events too. Avocado and Leek Soup. Smooth as velvet. A cup of this along with some grilled Salmon is killer. Avocado and Leek Soup Four ripe Avocados, peeled, cut into slices Two Leeks. Thinly slice the white portion, and some of the tender green leaves. Two tablespoons butter 8 ounces Heavy Cream One quart Chicken stock Kosher Salt, fresh ground Black Pepper t o taste 1/2 Tsp Penzey's Medium Chili powder
In a heavy pot, brown the sliced Leek in the butter. Place in Food processor, along with 1/4 cup of the Chicken Stock, and puree Add the Avocado slices and another 1/4 cup stock. Puree Transfer back to the heavy pot, add the rest of the stock, and bring to a slow boil. Stir often, do not let it burn or over heat. Check the seasoning, add in the Heavy Cream, return to a boil. Stir well, and remove from the heat. Cool on top of stove for 10 min, then transfer to a glass or metal bowl, and place in the refrigerator until chilled.
Serve, garnished with an Avocado slice, Lump Crab Meat, Cold Boiled Shrimp, or a mixture of fresh Parsley and Scallions. Top with Sour Cream, or Creme Fraiche.

That soup looks good. What keeps the avocado from going brown (oxidizing)?

it's not an issue. They only go brown if left sitting out, cut and uncovered. Even then, you can rub olive oil on the cut surface, and it will prevent the color turn.
