- Measure out the vegetable broth, lemon juice, and olive oil.
2. Blending:

6. Enjoy:
- Serve the soup chilled, or gently warm it on the stove over low heat if you prefer it warm. Avoid overheating to preserve the fresh flavors of the avocado and spinach.

Tips:

- Select ripe avocados for a smoother and creamier texture.

- For a thicker soup, reduce the amount of vegetable broth or add more avocado.

- Ensure to wash the spinach thoroughly to remove any grit.

- Adjust the lemon juice to your taste preference; a little bit more can make the soup more tangy.
