Chilled Cucumber Soup

This chilled cucumber soup is a cool and creamy escape from the heat. Packed with fresh herbs and a hint of avocado, it’s a delightful appetizer or light lunch that’s ready in under 10 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 GREENHOUSE english cucumber, cut into large chunks
  • 1 avocado, cut into large chunks
  • 3 scallions, root removed and cut into large chunks
  • 1 small shallot, cut into large chunks
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled and cut into chunks
  • ½ cup buttermilk

  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 4-5 mint leaves
  • 3 sprigs dill
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
  • ½ cup water, or more as needed
