Tasty & Tender Notes

One of the things I love most about this soup is how luxurious it feels despite using just a handful of simple ingredients. The cucumber brings freshness, the avocado creates a velvety texture, and the herbs add brightness and depth.

For a thinner soup, add a little extra broth. For a richer texture, add a touch more avocado.

For an extra layer of flavor, finish with a drizzle of Herbes de Provence olive oil before serving.

Best enjoyed well chilled and served the same day.

Because comfort food doesn't always have to be warm.
