Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, pitted and scooped

2 cups vegetable broth, chilled

1 cup coconut milk

1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 teaspoon cumin powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Salt, to taste

1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (for garnish)

1 small red onion, finely diced (for garnish)

1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Lime wedges, (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, combine the ripe avocados, chilled vegetable broth, coconut milk, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, cumin powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Blend on high until the mixture is perfectly smooth and creamy. Stop to taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice as desired.

    Chill the Soup: Transfer your creamy mixture to a bowl or airtight container. Cover it securely and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This chilling time is crucial as it allows the flavors to meld beautifully and ensures the soup is refreshingly cool.

      Prepare the Garnishes: While the soup is chilling, prepare your garnishes. In small serving bowls, artfully arrange the halved cherry tomatoes, finely diced red onion, thinly sliced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro. This not only adds color to your dish but enhances the overall flavor profile when served.

        Serve the Soup: After the soup has chilled for the recommended time, gently stir it to reincorporate any separation that may have occurred. Using a ladle, pour the soup into chilled bowls, ensuring each bowl gets a generous portion. Top each serving with a colorful mix of the prepared garnishes and, if desired, a squeeze of fresh lime juice for an added zing.

          Enjoy: Serve immediately to enjoy this creamy avocado soup as an invigorating starter or a light meal. Pair with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
