- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1/4 small red onion
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the avocados, peeled and chopped cucumber, chilled vegetable broth, Greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, cilantro, garlic clove, red onion, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin into a blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no chunks remain for a velvety texture.
- Season to Taste: Taste the soup and adjust the lime juice and seasoning if needed to balance the flavors perfectly.
- Adjust Consistency: If a thinner soup is preferred, add a little more vegetable broth and blend briefly to incorporate.
- Chill: Transfer the blended soup to a covered container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill thoroughly and allow flavors to meld.

Notes
- Use ripe avocados for the creamiest and richest texture.
- Add chopped jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt.
- Serve with tortilla chips or toasted bread for added texture.
- Best served fresh, as the avocado may darken if stored too long.
