Scale

Soup:

  • 2 medium cucumber (2 lbs)
  • 2 ripe avocado (1 pound)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon coriander, toasted and ground
  • Juice from 1 large lemon
  • Lemon zest for one large lemon
  • 1 cup plain whole milk yogurt

Topping:

  • 1/2 large ripe avocado
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons hemp seeds

Instructions

  • Peel the cucumber and slice in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds from the inside of each half. Roughly chop the cucumber and place in a blender.
  • Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the avocado and place in the blender with the cucumber. Add the garlic, ground coriander, yogurt, lemon juice, zest, and salt.

  • Dice the avocado and toss with lemon juice and chili flakes (if using). Divide the soup into two bowls and top with diced avocado and hemp seeds.

Notes

Tips & Tricks: This soup works best with ripe avocado- they puree the best. Also, if you do not have a high-speed blender, dice the cucumber small before blending.
