Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocado

- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1.5 cups cold vegetable broth
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh into a blender or food processor.

Add the Greek yogurt and cold vegetable broth. Blend everything until smooth and creamy.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper. Blend briefly to combine.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. If the soup is too thick, add more cold vegetable broth, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Transfer the soup to a covered container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
When ready to serve, dice the cucumber for garnish.
Ladle the chilled soup into bowls, drizzle each portion with a small amount of olive oil, and top with diced cucumber and additional cilantro leaves if desired.
