Ingredients
  

2 large cucumbers, peeled and roughly chopped

2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted

1 cup Greek yogurt (or a vegan alternative of your choice)

1 cup vegetable broth, chilled

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 clove garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon fresh dill (or ½ teaspoon dried dill)

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Optional garnishes: sliced radishes and microgreens

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling the cucumbers and cutting them into rough chunks. Halve the avocados, carefully remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Additionally, mince the garlic finely to maximize its flavor in the soup.

    Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, add the chopped cucumbers, avocado flesh, Greek yogurt (or vegan yogurt), chilled vegetable broth, fresh lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and dill. Blend on high until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.

      Season to Taste: Once blended, give the soup a taste and season generously with salt and black pepper. If you find the consistency a bit too thick, feel free to blend in a little more chilled vegetable broth until you reach your preferred silky texture.

        Chill the Soup: Transfer the creamy cucumber and avocado soup to a bowl or an airtight container. Cover and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time helps the flavors develop and makes for an incredibly refreshing dish.

          Serve with Style: When ready to serve, retrieve the soup from the fridge and give it a gentle stir. Dish the soup into chilled bowls for an extra cool experience. Top each serving with a few slices of radish and a sprinkle of microgreens or an additional sprig of dill for a touch of elegance and flavor.

            Enjoy the Refreshment: Indulge in this creamy cucumber avocado chill, perfect for warm weather days or as a delightful and light appetizer. Allow each spoonful to refresh your palate!
