Creamy Avocado Soup

A quick and easy no-cook soup, this is remarkably refreshing on a hot summer day. It’s best eaten on the same day as it is made, since avocado discolors and does not keep well under refrigeration once peeled. This soup makes a great opener for a Southwestern-style meal of burritos, enchiladas, or the like.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

2 large ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 recipe Vegan Sour Cream (page 7)
2 cups rice milk, more or less as needed
1 medium red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 scallions, green parts only, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon good-quality curry powder
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Finely dice enough avocado to make 1 cup, then mash the remainder well. Combine the diced and mashed avocados in a serving container and mix immediately with the lemon juice.

    Step 2

    Stir in the sour cream, then enough rice milk to give the soup a slightly thick consistency. Stir in the remaining ingredients and refrigerate, covered, until thoroughly chilled.
