Ingredients
2 large English cucumbers, roughly chopped (about 4 cups)
2 ripe avocados, pitted and scooped out
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 1–2 limes)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, packed (optional, but recommended)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup vegetable broth (or water, adjust for desired consistency)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
Optional garnishes: fresh cilantro, a swirl of olive oil, thin cucumber slices, toasted pumpkin seeds
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare your ingredients. Wash cucumbers. If using regular cucumbers, peel them and scoop out any large seeds. Roughly chop the cucumbers.
Step 2: Scoop the flesh out of the ripe avocados, discarding the pits and skin.
Step 3: Combine chopped cucumber, avocado flesh, Greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, cilantro (if using), minced garlic, vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper into a high-speed blender.
Step 4: Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick for your preference, add a little more vegetable broth or water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
Step 5: Taste the soup and adjust seasonings. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lime juice to brighten the flavors.
Step 6: Pour the blended soup into an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled. The chilling process allows the flavors to meld and intensifies the refreshing quality of this summer soup.
Step 7: Serve the chilled soup in bowls. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro, a drizzle of olive oil, or thin cucumber slices, if desired. Enjoy as a light lunch, appetizer, or healthy dinner.
Notes
For the smoothest consistency, use a high-speed blender. You can make this soup a day ahead; the flavors tend to deepen after chilling overnight. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days.
