Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the cucumbers thoroughly under cold running water.
- Peel them if the skin is thick or if you prefer a smoother soup. If you like a bit of texture, you can leave some of the skin on.
- Chop the cucumbers into large chunks and set aside.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh.
- Set aside the avocado flesh.
- Add the chopped cucumbers, avocado flesh, lemon juice, dill, and coriander leaves into a blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of water or vegetable broth to reach the desired consistency.
4. Season the Soup:
- Taste the soup and add salt and pepper if desired.
- Blend again briefly to mix the seasonings.
- Transfer the blended soup to a bowl and cover.
- Place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour before serving to enhance the flavors.
- Once chilled, stir the soup well and pour it into serving bowls.
- Garnish with additional dill or coriander leaves if desired for a fresh touch.
- Serve the cucumber avocado soup as a refreshing starter or a light meal on its own.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm cucumbers and perfectly ripe avocados for the best flavor and texture.
- Chill the soup in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance its refreshing qualities.
- Blend the soup until smooth for a creamy texture; if you prefer a chunkier soup, pulse the blender instead of running it continuously.
- Adjust the lemon juice, dill, and coriander to taste. Fresh herbs can be more potent, so add them gradually.
- Garnish with additional herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or seeds for extra texture and flavor.
