Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, pitted and scooped

2 cups vegetable broth, well-chilled

1 cup coconut milk, unsweetened

1/4 cup fresh lime juice (approximately the juice of 2 limes)

1 clove garlic, minced finely

1/4 teaspoon cumin powder

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Salt, to taste

1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (for garnish)

1 small red onion, finely diced (for garnish)

1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Lime wedges, (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a high-powered blender, add the ripe avocados, chilled vegetable broth, coconut milk, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, cumin powder, black pepper, and salt. Blend the mixture on high until it becomes a smooth and creamy consistency. Taste the soup, then adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.

    Chill the Soup: Once blended, pour the soup into a large bowl or an airtight container. Cover it tightly and place it in the refrigerator. Allow it to chill for at least 2 hours to let the flavors develop and the soup to cool thoroughly.

      Prepare the Garnishes: While the soup chills, prepare the garnishes. In small serving bowls, neatly arrange the halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, sliced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro. Set aside until ready to serve.

        Serve: After at least 2 hours, take the chilled soup out of the refrigerator. Give it a gentle stir to reincorporate any separation that may have occurred. Ladle the soup into chilled bowls. Generously top each serving with the garnishes, and add a squeeze of lime juice over the top if desired for an extra zing.

          Enjoy: Serve immediately as a refreshing starter or a light meal. Enjoy the delightful blend of creamy avocado with a hint of zesty lime!
