Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Avocados
- 1 medium English cucumber
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1.5 cups Vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Fresh mint leaves
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Ice-cold water
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Wash the cucumber, trim off the ends, and chop it into small chunks. Add the cucumber to the blender.
Add the plain Greek yogurt, vegetable stock, fresh lime juice, dill, mint leaves, and garlic to the blender.
Season with salt and black pepper.
Blend the mixture on high until it becomes smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick, gradually add the ice-cold water to reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, lime juice, or pepper as needed.
Transfer the soup to a bowl or airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the soup cold in individual bowls. Drizzle with a touch of olive oil and sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.
