Chilled Cucumber Avocado and Buttermilk Soup with Mint
4 servings
6 Cucumbers, chopped (skins left on)
3 Avocados, peeled and pitted
2 cups Yogurt (plain whole milk)
2 cups Buttermilk
1/2 cup Red Wine Vinegar
2 tsps fresh Lime Juice
2 TBS Sugar
1 TBS Salt
6 Fresh Mint Leaves, diced small
In a Cuisinart add cucumbers and avocados and blend for two to three minutes. Add rest of ingredients (except mint) and puree until smooth. Transfer in batches to a bar blender and puree until very smooth (one to two minutes). Pass through a fine strainer. Refrigerate for at least two hours or until it is well chilled. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with fresh mint just before serving.
