Peel the cucumbers, then cut each cucumber in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a spoon.
Roughly chop the cucumbers into chunks and add them to a blender.
Peel and pit the ripe avocado and add the flesh to the blender with the cucumbers.
Add fresh dill, fresh mint leaves, lime juice, garlic clove, and chopped green onion to the blender.
Pour in olive oil and cold water, then season with salt and black pepper.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is very smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more cold water to reach your desired consistency.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper as per your preference.
Chill the soup in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld.
Stir well before serving and garnish with additional dill or mint leaves, if desired. Serve cold.
