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.
