Vegan Chilled Cucumber Avocado Soup 🥑 A refreshing, creamy cold soup made with a fusion of ripe avocado, cucumber, tart lemon, dill & non-dairy yogurt. This easy and delicious vegan recipe is a summertime favorite. GF and no added oil.

I love soup. Hot, cold, clear, or creamy... anytime is a good time for a bowl of soup. I first tried this vegan spin on a chilled cucumber yogurt soup with avocado a few summers ago. Smooth, rich, & subtle in flavor, the combination of mellow avocado, refreshing cucumber, and vegan yogurt is the perfect starter for almost any lunch or evening meal. It's particularly delish served along with our vegan zucchini ravioli or potato enchilada casserole.
Top it with a zesty garnish of diced tomatoes & freshly chopped jalapeño, it's as pretty to serve as it is yummy to eat.

Ingredients
Here's what you'll need:

Variations
You can add or substitute some ingredients in this recipe, for instance:
- Lime juice (instead of lemon)
- Yogurt - choose a plain, unsweetened,vegan yogurt of your choice. It can be Greek style (thick) or regular. My favorites are cashew-based or almond-based yogurt. You can also prepare this without yogurt if you prefer.
- Onion - some people like a bit of onion in their soup. If so, I suggest 2-3 small green onions (chopped) added with the salt and fresh dill - pulsed to mix.
- Herbs - Mint, basil, cilantro or more dill. Add any one of these (chopped) fresh herbs to the tomato jalapeño topping.

🥑 FAQ's
Slice cucumber in half lengthwise. Using a pointed teaspoon or tablespoon, press on tip of the spoon, then scrape down the center of each cucumber half, removing seeds and pulp.
So, you're in the produce section at the grocery store and you need avocados to make vegan chilled cucumber avocado soup. How do you go about choosing which ones to buy when they all look pretty much the same?
Select your avocados based on when you plan on making the soup. If you want to prepare it the same day, choose ripe (not over-ripe) avocados. A ripe avocado will be fairly firm, but will yield to light pressure. The skin will be snug to the fruit, not brittle or pulled away. A perfectly ripe avocado will be neither hard nor mushy.
Always check to see that the stem is still intact on the avocado. If it has been removed, the avo will tend to over-ripen from the top, so buy the ones with the stems.
There's a fine line between ripe and over-ripe and you'll know it when you cut into an avo. One of the first signs of it being too ripe is the color of the flesh. Once those brown spots show up, it's too late. Another way to check if it's over ripe is by smell. An acrid or sour smell is a sure sign that you won't be using that avocado.
If you don't plan on using your avocados the day you buy them, it's better to error on the side of caution and choose firmer ones. If you have ripe avos that you won't use the same day, put them in the fridge. It will slow down the ripening process and might give you a few extra days to use them.

Mine is chilling in the fridge but I did use what I had on hand and needed to use, so this time I used your recipe as a base and jumping off place... I know the recipe would have been wonderful without changing a thing too and I only did so I didn't have to go to the store and so I could use up some asparagus... It is absolutely scrumptious and I cannot wait until lunch.... Thank you ♥
