Spicy Avocado Cucumber Soup with Roasted Corn

This Spicy Avocado Cucumber Soup with Roasted Corn hits the spot on a warm day!

This Spicy Avocado Cucumber Soup with Roasted Corn is easy to make and good for you too! Other than grilling or sauteing the corn, it is no-cook.

California Avocados are at their peak at the moment and cucumbers from gardens everywhere are plentiful, so why not combine the two with a handful of other ingredients and whip yourself up a different & delicious soup.

The first cold soup I had years and years ago threw me for a loop. Since then, I've opened my mind a bit to what a soup can be and now enjoy my soups both hot and cold.

You can decide to make this Spicy Avocado Cucumber Soup with Roasted Corn Soup as thick and creamy or as thin as you like. I enjoyed it on the thicker side. Pile on the pan roasted or barbecued corn, a handful of sesame seeds and you are in business! This is a fantastic and creative vegetarian offering as well as a gluten free one.

It would be a awesome (and pretty) in shooter cups for a bridal shower or wedding...Just sayin'!

If you think a meal isn't a meal without some form of meat...like my husband does, feel free to throw a handful of crispy bacon atop the soup as well and just like that...the carnivore in your life will be satisfied!

You can do so many delicious things with avocados! From Guacamole to Avocado Fries to soups, salads, desserts and more! Partnering up with California Avocados these last couple of years has not only made me appreciate what you can do with an avocado, it has also pushed me to think out of the box a little when it comes to enjoying avocados.

Notes

If you enjoy cilantro (I do...my husband and kids do not), add a handful of leaves to your soup when you pulse the garlic & jalapenos to give it that fresh taste that only cilantro can lend. OR simply use some as a garnish.

If you really want some heat, leave some of the jalapeno seeds in 🙂
