Ingredients
  

3 ripe avocados, halved and pitted

2 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for non-vegetarians)

1 cup coconut milk (or Greek yogurt for a creamier texture)

1 cup fresh lime juice (approximately 4-5 limes)

1 garlic clove, minced

1 small jalapeño, stemmed and seeded (optional, for a spicy kick)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Olive oil, for drizzling (optional)

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by carefully scooping the flesh of the avocados into a high-powered blender. Reserve a few thin slices of avocado for garnishing the soup later.

    Blend the Base: Into the blender with the avocado, add the vegetable broth, coconut milk, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, and the optional jalapeño for heat. Sprinkle in the chopped cilantro, along with a generous pinch of salt and pepper to elevate the flavors.

      Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until it is completely smooth and creamy. If you desire a thinner soup, gradually add a little more broth while blending until you reach your preferred consistency.

        Chill the Soup: Pour the vibrant green soup into a large bowl or container. Cover it tightly and place it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour. This chilling process not only cools the soup but also allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

          Serve and Garnish: Once the soup is chilled, give it a gentle stir to recombine. Ladle the soup into individual bowls and elegantly garnish with the reserved avocado slices, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a delicate drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness.

            Enjoy Your Refreshing Creation! This delightful chilled soup pairs perfectly with crunchy tortilla chips or a simple green salad, making it a wonderful light meal or appetizer.
