Ingredients
  

2 large cucumbers, peeled and coarsely chopped

1 ripe avocado, pitted and flesh removed

1 cup Greek yogurt (or substitute with dairy-free yogurt for a vegan version)

1 cup chilled vegetable broth

1 clove garlic, finely minced

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Fresh dill or mint leaves for garnish

Optional: 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup for a hint of sweetness, if desired

Instructions
 

Prep the Vegetables: Begin by peeling the cucumbers and cutting them into coarse chunks. If a smoother texture is desired, you may opt to remove the seeds, but this step is optional.

    Blend the Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the chopped cucumbers, avocado, Greek yogurt, chilled vegetable broth, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Blend all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

      Flavor the Soup: Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper. If you enjoy a sweeter flavor profile, add the honey or maple syrup at this point and blend briefly to mix in the sweetness.

        Chill the Soup: Pour the blended soup into a bowl or airtight container and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes. This chilling process allows the flavors to develop and the soup to achieve a refreshingly cold temperature.

          Present and Serve: Once the soup is chilled, give it a vigorous stir before serving. Ladle the soup into individual bowls and elegantly garnish with fresh dill or mint leaves for an aromatic finish. For an extra touch of richness, drizzle a little olive oil on top.

            Enjoy: This delicious soup can be served as a light appetizer or a revitalizing main dish on a warm day, making it an excellent choice for luncheons or picnics!
