I love soup. Hot, cold, clear, or creamy… anytime is a good time for a bowl of soup. This summer, I discovered a new favorite – a vegan spin on a chilled cucumber yogurt soup with avocado. Smooth, rich, & subtle in flavor. This fusion of mellow avocado, refreshing cucumber, and creamy yogurt, is the perfect starter for almost any lunch or evening meal. Top it with a zesty garnish of diced tomatoes & freshly chopped jalapeno, it’s as pretty to serve as it is yummy to eat. Quick & easy to prepare, I look forward to serving this year-round.

How to make vegan avocado cucumber soup

One of the many things I love about this vegan avocado cucumber soup recipe is how quick and easy it is to make! Quite honestly, you can enjoy a bowl of this soup in about 15 minutes, or less!

🥕A great tip for preparing any recipe is to have all of your ingredients on hand, and better yet, pre-measured.

Things to keep in mind as you gather your ingredients:

🥕Choose a plain, unsweetened,vegan yogurt. I’ve tried several different vegan yogurts in this recipe. My favorite is plain, unsweetened cashew-based yogurt.

🥕Select ripe avocados. Save yourself frustration and money by learning how to choose an avocado at its prime ripeness.

How to pick a perfectly ripe avocado

So, you’re in the produce section at the grocery store and you need avocados to make avocado cucumber soup. How do you go about choosing which ones to buy when they all look pretty much the same?

1. 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.
2. My husband always checks to see that the stem is still intact on the avocados he buys. If it has been removed, the avo will tend to over-ripen from the top, so he only buys the ones with the stems.
3. 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.
4. 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.
