Ingredients
  

2 medium cucumbers, peeled and diced

1 ripe avocado, pitted and chopped

1 cup vegetable or chicken broth (chilled)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tablespoon fresh dill or mint, chopped (plus more for garnish)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper for a bit of heat

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cucumbers, chopped avocado, minced garlic, and chopped herbs (dill or mint).

    Blend the Base: In a blender, add the cucumber and avocado mixture, vegetable broth, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper (if using).

      Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick, you can add more chilled broth until you reach your desired consistency.

        Season the Soup: Taste the mixture and season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Blend again briefly to incorporate the seasoning.

          Chill: Transfer the soup into a bowl or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors and serve it chilled.

            Serve: Once chilled, ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, and if you like, a few slices of cucumber or diced avocado on top.
