Instructions
Creating Chilled Cucumber Avocado Soup is straightforward and flexible. Here are the steps you’ll need to follow:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling and chopping the cucumbers. Next, pit and scoop out the avocados.
2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In a medium pot, heat a little oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onions for about 4-5 minutes until they are translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
3. Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the cooked onion and garlic mixture with cucumbers, avocados, vegetable broth (or water), and lime juice.
4. Add Herbs: Toss in fresh cilantro or mint leaves and blend until smooth. The consistency should be creamy and thick. If it’s too thick, add more broth or water to reach the desired texture.
5. Season: Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed. Blend again to incorporate the seasoning.
6. Chill: For the best flavor, transfer the soup to a bowl, cover it, and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill.
7. Serve: When ready, remove from the refrigerator. If desired, serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream for added creaminess. Garnish with extra herbs or cucumber slices.
These steps will guide you in crafting a delicious bowl of Chilled Cucumber Avocado Soup effortlessly.
