The avocados are still coming in here in California and it’s a fruit (yes, it is a fruit) that makes the foundation of this wonderful cold soup. The healthy fat from the avocados mixed with coconut cream give it a hearty texture, but is completely dairy-free.
Try it out and let me know what you think!
Ingredients:
- 12 ounces organic turkey bone broth (Pacific brand)
- 8 ounces of light coconut milk (Natural Value or Native Forest brand)
- 3 1/2 organic avocados halved and peeled (seed removed)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (add a pinch more to taste)
- 1/8 teaspoon organic onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon organic cumin
- 2 teaspoons of fresh organic lime juice
- 2 teaspoons of fresh organic lemon juice
- 6 ounces of chopped organic cucumber (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
Place broth and avocados in a Vitamix or similar type blender and blend on high for 1 minute.
Add coconut milk, onion powder, salt, coriander lime and lemon juice and blend on high for 2 minutes.
Mixture should be completely smooth and the thickness of a cream soup. If it is too thick, add one tablespoon at a time of filtered water, until desired consistency is reached.
Transfer mixture into a bowl, ceramic or glass is best. Do not use steel or stainless steel as it can react with the citrus.
Cover and place in refrigerator for 4 hours before serving.
Serve chilled and garnish with chopped cucumbers. Enjoy!
