Avocado Soup Recipe: An Amazing and Healthy Chilled Soup

Avocado soup is a refreshing and healthy light meal option. The creamy texture of avocado, mixed with the tangy taste of lime, creates a delicious and unique flavour perfect for a warm summer day. Better still, the avocado soup recipe is exceptionally easy to make as it is a no-cook recipe.

People typically serve this American soup cold, although it is possible to warm it before serving. If you prefer to eat the soup warm, just heat it gently in the pan until it is warmed through. Do not bring the soup to the boil, or it might separate and become dark and unappealing in appearance.

You may notice that the recipe includes an optional chilli, which adds some heat and an extra layer of flavour. It gives the soup a Mexican twist, replicating the flavours of Guacamole. However, you can leave the chilli out of the avocado soup recipe if you prefer a creamier taste. Similarly, you can add extra chilli to the soup if you prefer spicy food.
