COLD CUCUMBER-AVOCADO SOUP
Steps:
- In a food processor or blender combine the cucumber, avocado and scallions. Pulse until the mixture is thoroughly chopped.

- Season with salt and pepper to taste and chill for 4 to 6 hours.

CHILLED CUCUMBER SOUP WITH AVOCADO TOAST
A chilled cucumber soup, whirled together in the blender to serve as an instant dinner, is one of the quiet rewards of midsummer. The trick to making it hearty enough is to not stint on the seasonings, especially when something as mild as cucumber is the main ingredient. Garlic, plenty of herbs, jalapeño and anchovy add plenty of flavor, while buttermilk contributes a creamy, light texture. You could serve this with nothing more than some crusty or toasted bread on the side and be satisfied, but a topping of soft avocado dressed with a little lemon juice and feta cheese fills out the meal nicely. And the muted green colors of avocado toast and cucumber soup look as cooling as they taste.

AVOCADO-CUCUMBER SOUP
This simple but elegant soup graced the table at one of the monthly luncheons held by the Thursday Afternoon Cooking Club, an organization of Wichita, Kan., women that has been meeting since 1894. Each month, the 24 women of the club gather over their best tableware to share recipes and cooking tips. English cucumbers work well for this recipe, but cucumbers fresh from the garden are a great choice if you have them. The soup could also be blended and served chilled in small cups and passed around on a tray for a cocktail party.

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful the soup will be.
- Use a high-quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooked vegetables will make the soup mushy.
- Season to taste: Taste the soup and add salt, pepper, and other seasonings as needed. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
