Combine Ingredients

In a blender, combine the chopped cucumber, avocado, vegetable broth, lime juice, cilantro, green onion, and jalapeño (if using).

Blend Until Smooth

Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick, add a little more vegetable broth until you reach your desired consistency.

Season to Taste

Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as needed. Adjust the lime juice or jalapeño to your preference.

Chill Before Serving

Pour the soup into a container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to chill. Longer chilling time will enhance the flavors.

Serve and Garnish

Serve the chilled cucumber avocado soup in bowls. Garnish with diced cucumber, avocado slices, and cilantro sprigs for an appealing presentation.

FAQ

  • Can I use water instead of vegetable broth?

    Yes, but vegetable broth adds more flavor. You can also use chicken broth if you're not vegetarian.
  • How can I make this soup spicier?

    Add more jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce to the blender.
  • Can I store leftover soup?

    Yes, but the avocado may cause it to brown slightly. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • Can I add other vegetables?

    Yes, you can add a little spinach or kale for added nutrients.
  • Is this soup vegan and gluten-free?

    Yes, as long as you use vegetable broth and ensure your garnishes are also gluten-free and vegan.
