Creamy Avocado Soup

Creamy Avocado Soup blends ripe Haas avocado with Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and cilantro for a smooth, cool, and lightly spiced dish. Seasoned with cumin, black pepper, and optional cayenne, the soup is processed until velvety and chilled to meld flavors. Its fresh, creamy texture and mild tang make it a refreshing appetizer or light meal, especially suited to warmer temperatures.

Ingredients

  • 1 avocado medium, ripe, diced; 6 ounces without refuse, haas
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • ¼ cup cilantro coarsely chopped, plus a few leaves for garnish, fresh
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced, fresh
  • 1 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt I use Fage 5%
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt or ½ teaspoon of any other salt, including Morton kosher salt, Diamond Crystal brand
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin ground
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • ½ cup water plus more as needed, cold

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the avocado, lemon juice, cilantro, garlic, yogurt, salt, pepper, cumin, cayenne, and water in your food processor. Process until very smooth, about 1 minute, stopping once to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
  2. Check the consistency and, if desired, add up to ¼ cup more water and process to combine.
  3. Cover and refrigerate the soup for 30 minutes. Mix it again, divide it among 4 individual bowls, garnish with cilantro leaves, and serve.

Notes

  • Haas avocados are recommended for their creamy texture and better flavor compared to other varieties.
  • Using full-fat Greek yogurt is ideal; if replaced with regular yogurt, reduce or omit added water to maintain creaminess.
  • Refrigerate the soup for 30 minutes before serving to improve flavor melding and texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for 1-2 days and remix before serving, adding 1-2 tablespoons of water if thickened during storage.
