Chilled Cucumber and Avocado Soup

It was 102 at my house today.

One hundred

and

two.

I was already sweating at 8am when I dropped E off at daycare.

And it only got worse from there.

On days like today,

which unfortunately happen way too often here in The Valley,

the last thing I want to do is cook a hot meal.

I'm not usually a big fan of cold soup

but this one is so yummy and refreshing.

And super easy.

So the next time you're having a steamy day,

whip up a batch of this soup and cool off.

Chilled Cucumber and Avocado Soup

1 cucumber, chopped

1 large avocado, chopped

1  clove of garlic, chopped

1 jalapeno, chopped

1/2 cup greek yogurt

Put all ingredients except salt and pepper to a blender and blend until smooth.

Drizzle with olive oil

and garnish with tomatoes, croutons, scallions,

or whatever else looks good to you!
