Directions

Step 1

Peel the cucumbers and cut them into chunks. Reserve a few thin slices for garnish, if desired.

Step 4

Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (add more lime juice, salt, or pepper to taste).

Step 5

Transfer the soup to a large bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and to chill the soup.

Before serving, give the soup a good stir. Divide it into bowls and garnish with any combination of diced avocado, crumbled queso fresco, tortilla strips, or reserved cucumber slices.

Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing Mexican-inspired dish!
