Cucumber Cold Soup with Avocado and Greek Yogurt

Cucumber Cold Soup with Avocado and Greek Yogurt

Servings:

Ingredients

  • 2 - 3 outdoor cucumbers
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • a piece of red onion
  • 300 g Greek yogurt
  • juice from 1/2 lime
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar or 1 teaspoon wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey or sugar
  • 1/2 cup cilantro or mint leaves
  • chilled mineral water
  • optionally: a piece of green chili pepper

Preparation

  1. Ingredients can be placed in the refrigerator beforehand to chill. Wash cucumbers, dry, trim the ends, peel leaving narrow strips of skin about 1 cm apart (to add flavor and color, but this is not necessary if you want a smooth cream).
  2. Peel avocado, cut in half and remove the pit. Place the flesh in a blender container, add cucumbers, olive oil, onion, Greek yogurt, lime juice, vinegar, a pinch of salt, honey or sugar.
  3. Add 2 cups cold water and blend. Half of the herbs can be blended or chopped. Serve with the rest of chopped herbs and a pinch of freshly ground pepper. Can also be sprinkled with chopped green chili pepper.

Tips
If we want to serve the chilled soup immediately, we can replace part of the water with ice and blend everything. If we don't add ice, we put the soup in the refrigerator to chill.
