Creating the perfect Chilled Cucumber Avocado Soup is a simple and enjoyable process. Just follow these steps:
1. Prep the Vegetables: Begin by peeling and chopping the cucumbers. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh.
2. Combine in Blender: Place the chopped cucumbers, avocado flesh, vegetable broth, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper into a blender or food processor.
3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed to make sure everything is combined well.
4. Taste and Adjust: Taste the soup and add more salt or pepper according to your preference.
5. Add Herbs: If desired, add the fresh basil leaves and pulse a few more times until well incorporated.
6. Chill: Transfer the soup into a bowl or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Chill longer if you prefer a colder soup.
7. Serve: Once chilled, ladle the soup into bowls. Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt or coconut cream if desired, and garnish with additional herbs or cucumber slices.
