Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe avocados
- 1 small cucumber
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1.5 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 small jalapeño (optional)
- 0.5 cups ice water
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender.
Peel the cucumber, chop it into chunks, and add it to the blender.
Add the Greek yogurt, vegetable broth, lime juice, fresh cilantro, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the blender.
If you prefer a spicy kick, finely chop the jalapeño (seeds removed for less heat) and add it to the blender.
Blend everything until smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick, gradually add the ice water while blending until your desired consistency is reached.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed.
Transfer the soup to a large bowl or container, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.
Before serving, stir the soup well and pour it into individual bowls or cups.
Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, or a few thin slices of cucumber, if desired.
Serve cold and enjoy the refreshing flavors!
