Chilled Avocado Soup

Chilled Avocado Soup is a summertime staple, but also something you can have in the wintertime when you happen to have some good avocados and a hankering for something light and summery to beat those winter doldrums.   There are so many spins and changes you can make to this recipe, like adding green grapes or honeydew, but this is a great start to a well-balanced hearty and refreshing avocado soup.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Avocados
  • 1 deseeded cucumber
  • 1 Granny Smith apple
  • the juice of 2 limes
  • 2 deseeded jalapenos
  • 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup of rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp honey or agave nectar

Roughly chop any of fruits and vegetables and then blend all of the ingredients together until smooth.  I usually use our Ninja or my Cuisinart.  You want to chill this soup for a minimum of 2 hours.  I like to stick the ninja pitcher right inside the fridge so when I taste it after it is chilled I can add an ingredient to it and blend it up, say I decide it needs a little more acid or salt or sweetness.    This can feed 4 people as a starter or 2 people as a hearty gluten free and vegan meal.
