This creamy and refreshing Avocado Soup combines ripe avocados with a blend of aromatic spices, lime juice, and fresh cilantro, creating a perfect chilled soup ideal for warm days or as a light starter. The addition of jalapeño offers a subtle heat that can be adjusted to taste, while toppings like hot sauce, crumbled cotija cheese, and crushed tortilla chips add texture and bursts of flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 4 ripe Haas avocados, pitted and peeled

For Serving

  • Hot sauce
  • Crumbled cotija cheese
  • Crushed tortilla chips
  • Chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a medium skillet over medium heat, warm the vegetable oil until it shimmers. Add the diced onion and thinly sliced garlic, cooking while stirring occasionally until the onion becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.
  2. Blend Soup Ingredients: Transfer the sautéed onion and garlic to a blender. Add the vegetable broth, heavy cream, fresh lime juice, packed cilantro, seeded jalapeño (if using), ground cumin, kosher salt, and peeled avocados. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth, which should take approximately 2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt as needed.
  3. Serve: Serve the soup immediately at room temperature or chill it in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours before serving. Garnish with hot sauce, crumbled cotija cheese, crushed tortilla chips, and chopped cilantro to add extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a thinner soup, add extra vegetable broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
  • Omitting the jalapeño creates a milder flavor suitable for all palates.
  • This soup can be refrigerated for up to 4 hours; avoid storing longer to maintain freshness and vibrant green color.
  • Use ripe Haas avocados for optimal creaminess and flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of lime juice depending on your preferred level of acidity.
