Ingredients
  

2 large cucumbers, peeled and chopped

1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 cup vegetable broth (chilled)

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 garlic clove, minced

2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling and chopping the cucumbers into manageable pieces. Then, peel and pit the avocado, scooping the flesh into a bowl.

    Blend the Soup Base: In a blender, combine the chopped cucumbers, avocado, Greek yogurt, chilled vegetable broth, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, and olive oil.

      Season the Mixture: Add salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

        Adjust Consistency: If the soup is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more vegetable broth to achieve your desired consistency. Blend again until well incorporated.

          Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Serve a taste of the soup to check seasonings. Adjust salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.

            Chill the Soup: Transfer the blended soup into a large bowl or pitcher, cover tightly, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and to serve ice-cold.

              Serve: Pour the chilled soup into individual bowls or glasses. Drizzle a little olive oil on top, sprinkle with extra dill, and maybe add a slice of cucumber or avocado for an elegant garnish.

                Enjoy: Delight in this refreshing and creamy cucumber avocado soup as a light lunch, appetizer, or as part of a summer meal!
