Halve and stone (pit) the avocados. Scoop out the flesh and place in a blender that can crush ice. Add the lime juice, garlic, ice cubes and about 150ml/¼ pint/⅔ cup of the vegetable stock and process until smooth.
Pour the mixture into a large jug (pitcher) and stir in the remaining stock, milk, sour cream, Tabasco and seasoning.
Pour the smoothie into 4 glasses and spoon a little salsa on to each. Add a splash of olive oil to each portion and garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve immediately with a spoon.
