Ingredients
  

2 large cucumbers, peeled and roughly chopped

1 ripe avocado, pitted and scooped

1 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option)

1 cup vegetable broth (chilled)

1 clove garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh dill or mint leaves for garnish

Optional: 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for sweetness, if desired)

Instructions
 

Prep the Vegetables: Start by peeling and chopping the cucumbers into rough pieces. If you want a smoother texture, you may remove the seeds, but this is optional.

    Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the chopped cucumbers, avocado, Greek yogurt, vegetable broth, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy.

      Season the Soup: Taste the mixture and season with salt and pepper. If you prefer a touch of sweetness, add the honey or maple syrup at this stage and blend again briefly to incorporate.

        Chill: Transfer the soup to a bowl or container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to become refreshingly cold.

          Serve: Once chilled, give the soup a good stir. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh dill or mint leaves for an aromatic touch. You can also drizzle a little more olive oil on top for added flavor.

            Enjoy: This soup can be served as a light appetizer or as a main dish on a hot day, perfect for luncheons or picnics!
