Ingredients

½ cup chicken or vegetable stock
2 large cucumbers (peeled and cut into chunks)
1 ½ cups 2% fat plain Greek yogurt
½ medium avocado (peeled and seeded)
1 medium shallot (peeled and cut in half)
3 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons salt
black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Combine chicken or vegetable stock, cucumbers, Greek yogurt, avocado, shallot, fresh dill, lime juice, ground cumin, and salt in a blender or food processor.
Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. If a thinner consistency is desired, gradually add more stock until it reaches your preference.
Transfer the soup to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to chill thoroughly.
Before serving, taste the soup and adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve the chilled soup in bowls, garnished with fresh dill sprigs and thin cucumber slices. Add a sprinkle of black pepper if desired.

Notes

– For the creamiest texture, ensure your avocado is perfectly ripe. If you find the soup too thick, I’ve often found that adding a tablespoon or two of extra stock at a time, blending, and checking the consistency helps achieve the perfect smoothness without making it watery.
– To prevent browning, especially if making ahead, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the soup before refrigerating. The lime juice also helps maintain the bright green color.
– Storage: This soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Its freshness is best enjoyed within the first 24 hours.
