Prepare the Ingredients

Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Wash and chop the cilantro and green onions. If using jalapeño, carefully remove the seeds and mince finely. Peel and roughly chop the avocados. Mince the garlic.

Blend the Soup

In a blender, combine the avocados, vegetable broth, lime juice, cilantro, green onion, jalapeño (if using), and garlic. Add the optional sour cream or Greek yogurt for extra creaminess. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.

Season and Adjust

Taste the soup and season with salt and black pepper to your liking. If the soup is too thick, add a little more vegetable broth until you reach your desired consistency. Add more lime juice for extra tang if desired.

Chill and Serve

Pour the soup into a container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold, garnished with diced tomatoes, red onion, or tortilla strips, if desired.

FAQ

  • Can I make this soup ahead of time?

    Yes, you can make this soup a few hours ahead of time. However, avocado can oxidize and turn brown, so to prevent this, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the soup before refrigerating. This will minimize exposure to air. You can also add a bit more lime juice as an antioxidant.
  • Can I use a different type of broth?

    Yes, you can substitute vegetable broth with chicken broth or water, but the flavor will be slightly different. Vegetable broth is recommended for the best flavor.
  • Is this soup vegan?

    Yes, this soup is naturally vegan if you omit the sour cream or Greek yogurt. You can substitute with a plant-based yogurt or cashew cream for a similar creamy texture.
