Print Recipe

A quick and refreshing summer soup blending ripe avocados, crisp cucumbers, fresh dill, and lemon for a silky, tangy, and nourishing cold soup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe Hass avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 2 large English cucumbers, peeled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • Juice of 1 large lemon (about 3 tablespoons)
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt for vegan)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup cold water (adjust for desired consistency)
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel and pit the avocados, peel and chop the cucumbers into chunks, mince the garlic, and finely chop the fresh dill. Squeeze the lemon juice, removing any seeds.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine avocados, cucumbers, garlic, Greek yogurt, fresh dill, and lemon juice. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Add cold water slowly to reach desired consistency.
  3. Add sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Blend briefly again to incorporate seasoning evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Transfer the soup to a covered container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and allow flavors to meld.
  5. Before serving, stir the gazpacho well. If too thick, whisk in a splash of cold water or olive oil. Ladle into bowls or glasses and garnish with extra chopped dill and a drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

Use ripe but firm avocados for best texture. Peel cucumbers to avoid bitterness. Blend thoroughly for smoothness. Adjust thickness with cold water. Chill for at least 1 hour to enhance flavor. Fresh dill is preferred over dried. For vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or silken tofu. Add a pinch of cayenne or jalapeño for a spicy kick if desired.
