Cream of Avocado and Cucumber

Avocados are high in calories -- but these are high-quality calories, which means that they are loaded with nutrition.

Serving: Serves: 4
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients
1 1/4 cups avocado pulp, tightly packed
2 1/4 cups peeled, seeded, and diced cucumber
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice or lemon juice
1 cup soy milk
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 teaspoons minced garlic
5 tablespoons white miso
2 teaspoons dill weed
Thinly sliced scallions, for garnish


Directions
Put all of the ingredients except the scallions into a blender and blend until smooth. Cool and serve, garnished with the scallions. If ingredients are cold to start with, the soup may be served immediately. If the soup is left in the refrigerator for long, the surface may oxidize and turn dark. If it does, simply skim off the surface and use the rest. The flavor is not affected by the oxidation, but the soup does not look as appetizing.
