Instructions
-
Prepare the avocados. Scoop the flesh from the avocado halves and place it in a food processor or blender.
-
Add the remaining ingredients. Pour in the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, stock, and kosher salt.
-
Blend until smooth. Process on high until the soup is creamy and completely blended. Scrape down the sides as needed.
-
Chill the soup. Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
-
Serve. Divide into bowls and finish with your preferred accompaniments.
Notes
-
Choose ripe avocados: They should yield gently when pressed but should not feel mushy.
-
Blend thoroughly: A high-speed blend gives the soup its smooth, velvety texture.
-
Chill before serving: Allow enough time in the refrigerator for the soup to become cold and refreshing.
-
Prevent browning: The lemon juice helps slow avocado oxidation. Press food-safe plastic wrap directly against the soup’s surface before covering and refrigerating.
