Wondering if you can make soup with avocados? Good news, my friend – not only is avocado soup possible, but it’s also delicious! I love this recipe because it requires no cooking and takes just minutes to make. I’ll show you how to achieve a fresh flavor and creamy texture with my 5 expert tips.
I know soup is meant to be a winter thing, but I crave it year-round. But rather than simmering a hearty soup all day in summer, I want something light and refreshing in my bowl. That’s where the inspiration for this avocado soup came from – I’ve developed it to be a no-cook recipe. That’s right – you don’t even have to turn the stove on: there’s no sauteing or roasting for this soup recipe. It’s easy, breezy, and really refreshing. Every time I serve it up, my guests are surprised by how delicious and satisfying a simple avocado soup is!
Plus, you can serve it chilled, straight from the blender, or warm it gently on a cool day.
Why avocado soup is my favorite
- Armed with little more than ripe avocados and stock, this soup can be yours in only 10 minutes.
- Creamy avocados need very little to turn them into a flavorful soup. A little cilantro, lime juice, green onions, and garlic add just the right amount of flavor. And a pinch of cumin takes it over the top.
- On a hot summer’s day, avocado gazpacho is just the thing to cool you down.
- And on a chilly fall day, warming this creamy soup with a gentle simmer will bring big-time cozy vibes to your table.
- It keeps well for several days in your refrigerator, so you can have a more relaxed lunch tomorrow.
Variations to try
Whether you want to change it up to suit your cravings or what you have on hand, you can make many easy variations to your avocado soup. Here are some of my favorites:
- Spice it up: Sprinkle red chili peppers, hot sauce, or chili oil on top, or add a pinch of cayenne or jalapeño slices when blending to add heat. Smoked paprika adds a nice flavor without being spicy. And pickled jalapeños make a tasty topping!
- Extra creamy: While this is already creamy, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for an extra velvety soup. The consistency is smooth, so you don’t need heavy cream to make it luscious.
- Tropical twist: Have you ever had pineapple salsa on a taco with guacamole? Pineapple and avocado work well together – add a small handful of diced pineapple on top to sweeten it up!
- Protein boost: Top it off with some shredded chicken or bacon crumbles. If you’re vegetarian or feel like tofu, crumble some and broil it to make crispy shreds.
Expert tips
This creamy avocado soup is as easy as it gets – you just blend it, and serve it! It doesn’t get more simple than that. Despite the ease, there are some things you can do to guarantee the best bowl of soupy goodness. Here are my 5 expert tips:
- Avocado selection: Choosing the perfect avocado is a big factor for this avocado soup. You want to check the color – it should be dark, almost black. Press your thumb into it – it should yield a bit, but not feel hollow or mushy. Finally, check the stem – it should fall off easily and have green flesh underneath.
- Broth selection: The stock is the foundation of the soup, and where a lot of the flavor will come from. You want to have a good quality broth! I use bone broth, often one of my homemade stocks . If you’re using vegetable broth, you may need to add some extra salt – taste it, then season as needed.
- Blending: Avocados can be over-blended, and they tend to turn gummy instead of silky smooth. Keep an eye on the consistency and be wary not to overdo it.
- Balance: The lime juice adds a little acidity, which brightens the soup! Don’t skip it.
- Top it off: When it comes to soups, I find contrast goes a long way. Add some crunchy toasted pepitas, crispy bacon, or mini soup croutons to add texture.
What to seve with avocado soup?
This avocado soup works as a standalone, light meal – or you can soak it up with some no yeast bread . I love the way it pairs with proteins, as it rounds out the meal beautifully. I usually serve it with my baked chicken breasts or grilled cedar plank salmon .
Add some texture by serving it with baby kale salad or a summery grilled peach salad .
