Cool Avocado Soup

Leave a Comment Jump to Recipe

This no cook, Cool Avocado Soup will cool you down without heating up the kitchen. Here is a gluten-free, dairy-free, creamy soup bursting with flavor and color that is super easy to prepare. The blender will do most of the work, so your chopping and slicing will be minimal. This is my kind of recipe for a hot summer day.

Avocado Soup Ingredients

Broth – This soup can be made vegan with a veggie broth and coconut cream. Imagine Foods makes the best vegetarian “No Chicken” broth that is great in soup. It is the only vegetarian broth I use. I find that most other vegetable broths taste too much like carrots. Whether or not you’re vegetarian or vegan, this broth is a great base that provides just the right flavors. If you are not vegetarian or vegan and you want to amp up the nutrients, bone broth can be used instead.

Salt – I have not given an exact amount of salt because all broths are not created equal. The salt level varies greatly, so just let your taste buds tell you how much is the right amount. Once the soup is blended, taste and add a pinch or two more at a time if needed.

Cream – I love the the richness that a little butter or sour cream can add to a soup but coconut or cashew cream make for a great vegan option. Stir it in at the end or swirl it into a bowl when serving.

Soup Garnishes

This is a beautiful soup that makes a great presentation with different color garnishes. I usually use whatever I have in the fridge but here are some possibilities:

  • minced bell pepper – a mix of red, yellow and orange is gorgeous
  • chopped cilantro
  • sliced green onion
  • minced jicama
  • lime wedges
  • diced tomato
  • tortilla chips or strips
  • pumpkin seeds (pepitas are a popular in Latin America)

Soup Variations

This cool avocado soup can be made into a meal by adding some shredded chicken, garbanzo, kidney or black beans or even some cold salmon,

If you want to change the flavor profile feel free to add different herbs and spices. Avocado is a perfect neutral base for so many flavors.

  • This soup could take on a more Asian flavor buy adding some freshly grated ginger, a half teaspoon of rice vinegar and a drop of sesame oil. Then top it with green onion and cucumber.
  • Give it a Mediterranean twist with mint and lemon instead of cilantro and lime.
  • Basil and lemon (in place of the cilantro and lime) are also great combo topped with chopped tomato and pine nuts.
