Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, halved, pitted, and flesh scooped out

2 large cucumbers, peeled and roughly chopped

1 cup ripe cherry tomatoes, halved

1 small red onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups chilled vegetable broth

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Fresh herbs (such as cilantro or parsley) for garnish

Optional: a pinch of chili flakes for added spice

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Peel and chop the cucumbers into large chunks. Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the red onion. Mince the garlic cloves for a robust flavor.

    Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the avocado flesh, chopped cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and minced garlic. This vibrant combination will form the foundation of your gazpacho.

      Add the Liquids: Pour in the chilled vegetable broth to keep the soup refreshing. Then, squeeze in the fresh lime juice and add the olive oil. Blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.

        Season the Gazpacho: Sprinkle the ground cumin into the mixture, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If you prefer a little heat, add a pinch of chili flakes. Blend once more until all ingredients are well combined and fully integrated.

          Chill and Serve: Transfer the gazpacho to a large bowl or pitcher and cover. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and intensify for a refreshing experience.

            Garnish: When ready to serve, give the gazpacho a gentle stir. Serve the chilled gazpacho in bowls, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil if desired for added richness.
