Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large English or Persian cucumbers, chopped (peeled if needed)
- 2 ripe avocados, pitted and scooped
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or unsweetened coconut yogurt
- 1/2 cup cold vegetable broth or cold water
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro or flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 2 tbsp fresh mint or dill leaves
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice (or lemon juice)
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- Finely diced cucumber
- Radish slices
- Drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive oil
- Toasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas) or microgreens
Instructions
- Chop the cucumbers and scoop the avocado flesh. Measure the yogurt, vegetable broth, herbs, lime juice, garlic, and seasonings.
- Place the cucumbers, avocados, yogurt, vegetable broth, cilantro, mint, lime juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper into a high-speed blender. Blend for 2 to 3 minutes until completely smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if needed. Transfer to a bowl or pitcher, cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours until thoroughly chilled.
- Ladle the soup into chilled bowls and garnish with diced cucumber, radish slices, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and toasted pumpkin seeds or microgreens before serving.
Notes
For the smoothest texture, use ripe avocados and seedless English cucumbers. Chill the soup well before serving for the freshest flavor. Add extra vegetable broth if you prefer a thinner consistency.
