Ingredients

- Coconut milk
- Fresh herbs (cilantro or mint, or parsley)
- Garlic
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Peel and pit the avocados, and chop them into chunks. Squeeze the lime juice and set it aside.
- Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the avocado, lime juice, garlic, and half of the vegetable broth. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Add Coconut Milk: Pour in the coconut milk and the remaining vegetable broth. Blend again until fully combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Chill the Soup: Transfer the soup to a bowl or container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the soup to chill.
- Serve: Once chilled, give the soup a good stir. Ladle it into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or a few lime wedges for an extra pop of flavor.
