Cold Avocado Soup – Refreshing and Quick for Summer
- Perfect for hot summer days when you want something cool.
- Made with simple ingredients that you likely already have.
- Highly customizable with various toppings and add-ins.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
- 2 cups vegetable broth, chilled
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chopped cilantro, for garnish
How to Make Cold Avocado Soup
To start, scoop the flesh of the ripe avocados into a blender. Then, add the chilled vegetable broth, Greek yogurt, lime juice, and minced garlic. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to your taste, adjusting the lime juice for more acidity if desired. Once mixed, transfer the soup to a bowl or container, cover it, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Tips
- Choose avocados that are perfectly ripe for maximum creaminess.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs, such as mint or basil.
Make-Ahead
This cold avocado soup can be made a day in advance. Just be sure to store it in an airtight container, and give it a good stir before serving.
Storing
Keep any leftover soup in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can still savor the flavor a couple of days later.
Freezing
While freezing is not recommended due to the texture change in avocados, you can freeze the soup before adding the yogurt. Thaw it in the fridge and blend with yogurt just before serving.
Reheating
This dish is best enjoyed cold, but if you want to warm it up slightly, do so gently over low heat to prevent cooking the avocados.
Serving Suggestions
Top your soup with chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, or a sprinkle of chili flakes for an added kick. Pair it with crusty bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
