Chilled Cucumber and Avocado Soup
Serves 6
Time 2 hr 15 min
Cool, crisp cucumbers blend nicely with soy milk, creamy yogurt, vibrant avocados and tangy lime juice. Served in chilled bowls, this dairy-free summertime soup is a delightfully refreshing antidote to a warm evening. Use Haas avocados for the creamiest texture and vine-ripened tomatoes for just a hint of sweetness.
