Description

A refreshing and cooling no-cook soup featuring the fresh flavors of cucumber, creamy avocado, and vibrant mint. Perfect for hot days, this easy-to-make chilled soup combines simple ingredients for a smooth, nutritious dish.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large cucumbers, peeled
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 2 cups cold water
  • Salt & pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Peel the cucumbers and cut them into chunks. Slice the ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh.
  2. Blend Everything: In a blender, combine the cucumber chunks, avocado flesh, lime juice, plain Greek yogurt, fresh mint leaves, and cold water. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Chill Soup: Pour the blended soup into a bowl or pitcher. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to become thoroughly chilled.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Before serving, stir the soup gently, then ladle into bowls. Garnish each serving with additional fresh mint leaves for a bright, fragrant finish.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for a creamy texture and rich flavor.
  • Adjust the thickness by adding more or less cold water to your preference.
  • For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
  • This soup can be prepared a day ahead and kept refrigerated.
  • If you prefer a sweeter touch, add a small drizzle of honey or agave syrup.
