Cucumber & Avocado Soup

This recipe is an amalgam of a bunch that I found online. It was definitely missing something, or was just a little “off.” I think next time I’ll try less yogurt, and swapping out cilantro for dill or mint. Any other suggestions? Alternate cucumber soup recipes? Please leave me a comment and share!

Ingredients:

  • 3 small cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and roughly chopped
  • 1 avocado, peeled and diced
  • 3 green onions (green and white parts included) roughly chopped
  • 1/3 cup cilantro, plus a few extra sprigs for garnish
  • 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 3/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • Sea salt and white pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. In a food processor or blender combine the cucumber, avocado, green onions, cilantro, and parsley. Pulse until the mixture is thoroughly chopped.
  2. Add broth, sour cream and lemon juice and continue to process until smooth.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste and chill for 4 to 6 hours.
  4. Taste for seasoning and serve in chilled bowls with garnish.
