Chilled Avocado & Cucumber Soup
The cool sensation of cucumber combined with the creaminess of avocado makes for a wonderfully refreshing cold soup. It’s light, refreshing and 100% raw!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 large cucumber regular or english, with or without the skin
- 1 teaspoon cumin or 1/2 teaspoon dill*
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 lemon juice of
- dash of mineral salt
Instructions
- Cucumber: Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise, cut the halves in half lengthwise, and chop the cucumber slices into 1/2 inch pieces.
- Avocado: Slice the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the seed and using a large spoon scoop the avocado flesh from the skin.
- Blend: Add the cucumber, avocado, garlic, cumin or dill, lemon, and salt to the cup of your blender or food processor. Blend until creamy.
- Enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
- Serve garnished with diced tomatoes, red onions and cilantro if you like. You could even top with julienned carrots, diced colorful bell peppers, etc. Most veggies will make a nice garnish and taste well with this dish while also adding some texture.
- This is 2 small servings or one large serving.
Notes
*Use dill or cumin. I like to change up the herb or spice when making this easy pureed soup. Cumin is a warm and heavy spice and is delicious in this soup. When I want to keep it super light, I opt of light and refreshing dill.
