Chilled Cucumber and Avocado Soup

by Barnaby

Adapted from The Low-Carb Gourmet, by Barnaby

This creamy and refreshing chilled soup is low in carbs and it doesn't require any cooking at all: just whiz the ingredients in a blender or food processor.

Fresh cucumber, good-for-you avocado, and green onion combined with sour cream and a squeeze of fresh lime juice make a sensuous tribute to the abundant lushness of the good green world. We think the Goddess of Summer would approve!

Serves 4

English cucumber, peeled, seeded, and chopped

freshly squeezed lime juice

1. In a blender or food processor, combine the cucumber, avocados, green onions, lime juice, sour cream, and water. Process until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If the soup is too thick for your liking, thin it with water. 2. Stir in the cilantro and serve immediately, or cover and let chill.
