Chilled Cucumber, Avocado and Shrimp Soup

Recipe #312038 | 1¼ hours | 5 min prep | add private note

By: grumblebee

A delightfully refreshing chilled soup — this recipe is perfect for a hot summer day, a BBQ or even dinner party. The presentation is simple yet elegant, and the soup itself is so good and easy to prepare. There are other avocado/cucumber soup recipes posted here at Zaar, but this one is different and contains an additional ingredient: shrimp! This recipe was adapted from a similar one found in HomeBasics magazine. Also note that "Cook Time" is the time required for proper chilling.

SERVES 4 , 4 generous portions (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Wrap half the avocado in plastic wrap and set aside.
  2. 2
    Peel the other half of the avocado, then cut it into chunks.
  3. 3
    Place the avocado, cucumber, broth, yogurt, lime juice and salt in the bowl of a blender. Process until smooth and creamy. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until very cold.
  4. 4
    To serve, peel and dice the remaining avocado half. Stir the avocado into the soup along with the diced shrimp.
  5. 5
    Ladle the soup into 4 bowls, sprinkle with green onions and float a single shrimp on top of each.
