    Spring is in the air and I'm loving this refreshing, chilled Spicy Cucumber Avocado Soup! It's creamy, tangy, a bit spicy, and so good for you!

    This Spicy Cucumber Avocado Soup is insanely simple—cucumbers, avocados, buttermilk, lime juice, rice wine vinegar, and Thai chili peppers. I also added in fresh cilantro and mint and topped it off with thin slices of cucumber and a drizzle of avocado oil just before serving.

    Chilled vegetarian cucumber avocado soup is gluten-free and so simple to make! All you need to do is blend a handful of ingredients.

    What you need to make this chilled soup

    Guys, not kidding! This recipe is so incredibly easy! Just throw all of these ingredients into a food processor or high-powered blender and, voilà, a beautiful soup will emerge!

    • European cucumber (because they have less seeds and are the perfect size for this soup)
    • Hass avocados (because they're bigger in size and creamier)
    • Buttermilk (for creaminess)
    • Rice wine vinegar
    • Sugar (just a tad to balance out the heat)
    • Fresh lime juice
    • Thai chili pepper (for heat)
    • Fresh cilantro and mint
    • High-powered blender or food processor

    English cucumbers contain less seeds, but I still scoop out the seeds so the soup remains creamier.

    Beautiful Hass avocados are rich in taste and super creamy when mashed or blended.

    Throw all of the ingredients into a high-powered blender like this one, or a food processor, and blend or pureé until smooth and creamy.

    You can have some fun with toppings like thinly sliced cucumbers, mint, cilantro, and micro greens. Try a dollop of crème fraîche or sour cream for extra creaminess!

    Tips & Tricks

    • Remove the seeds from the cucumbers to achieve a super smooth texture, but don’t bother peeling the skin (wash it thoroughly).
    • I recommend using a high-powered blender or food processor to make this soup.
    • Don't like heat? Leave out the Thai chili pepper.
    • This soup will thicken in the refrigerator, so if it's not to your liking just add in some water and re-blend.
