A simple, creamy, and refreshing chilled soup made with cucumber and avocado, perfect for hot summer days. This no-cook recipe is quick to prepare and naturally vegan and gluten-free.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large English cucumbers, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 2 medium ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley leaves, chopped
  • 1 small green onion stalk, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup cold water or chilled vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. Peel and roughly chop the cucumbers and avocados.
  2. Mince the garlic and chop the green onion and fresh herbs.
  3. Add cucumbers, avocado, garlic, green onion, herbs, olive oil, lime juice, and 1/4 cup cold water or broth to a high-speed blender or food processor.
  4. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes until very smooth.
  5. If the soup is too thick, add more cold water or broth a tablespoon at a time, blending briefly after each addition until desired consistency is reached.
  6. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, blending again to combine.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning or lime juice as desired.
  8. Transfer the soup to bowls and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve cold, garnished with fresh herb leaves or thin cucumber slices.

Notes

Chill the soup for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor and texture. Avoid over-blending avocado to prevent bitterness. If blender struggles, pulse in short bursts and scrape down sides. For a silky finish, strain through a fine sieve before chilling. Add cold water or broth gradually to control consistency. Fresh herbs are preferred over dried for best flavor.
