A quick and easy chilled soup combining creamy avocado, crisp cucumber, and tangy Greek yogurt, perfect for hot summer days. This refreshing gazpacho is healthy, satisfying, and ideal for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large cucumbers, peeled and chopped
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
  • 1 to 1½ cups cold water
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional garnishes: extra dill sprigs, thin cucumber slices, avocado cubes, drizzle of olive oil, chopped chives or green onions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: peel and chop cucumbers into roughly 1-inch pieces; peel, pit, and cube the avocado; mince the garlic; squeeze fresh lemon juice and set aside.
  2. In a blender, combine cucumbers, avocado, Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, and fresh dill. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of cold water to start.
  3. Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes until silky smooth. Add remaining ½ cup (120 ml) water in small increments if mixture is too thick, blending after each addition.
  4. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper gradually, blending briefly after each addition. Taste frequently to avoid over-salting.
  5. Pour the blended soup into a covered container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill and allow flavors to meld.
  6. Before serving, stir gently and pour into chilled bowls or glasses. Garnish with dill sprigs, cucumber slices, avocado cubes, olive oil drizzle, and chopped chives or green onions as desired.

Notes

Use ripe but firm avocados to avoid mushy texture. Peel cucumbers to prevent bitterness. Chill soup for at least 30 minutes before serving for best flavor. Adjust water to achieve desired thickness. For milder garlic flavor, roast garlic beforehand or use garlic powder. Blend in ice cubes for extra frosty texture but avoid diluting flavor.
