Peel the cucumbers, cut them lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds. Chop the cucumbers into chunks and set aside.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, scoop out the flesh, and set aside.
In a blender, combine the chopped cucumbers, avocado flesh, mint leaves, non-dairy yogurt, lemon juice, garlic cloves, and water or vegetable broth.
Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add more water or broth until the desired consistency is reached.
Add salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the blender. Blend again until everything is well incorporated.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the soup to a large bowl or pitcher, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until well-chilled.
Serve the chilled soup in bowls, garnished with a few mint leaves on top for a fresh touch.
