Chilled Cucumber and Avocado Soup with Mango Salsa

This soup has been a favorite of ours for the last few weeks.  It is has a lovely combination of flavors and is especially refreshing on a hot day.  Although I wish I didn’t, I (Cassie) have always had a hard time with cucumbers.  But this soup does a great job at “covering them up.”

This recipe was originally found here.  We made a few adjustments based on the vegetables that we have access to here.

All of the vegetables required for this soup are currently in season.  So we plan to eat a lot more of it in the next couple of months.
