Tips:
- Choose perfectly ripe avocados: The avocado should yield to gentle pressure when squeezed. Unripe avocados will not have a creamy texture, while overripe avocados may be too soft or brown inside.
- Use fresh, high-quality yogurt: Opt for plain, unsweetened yogurt to maintain the natural flavors of the soup. Greek yogurt can be used for a thicker, creamier soup.
- Adjust the consistency: If you prefer a thinner soup, add more water or broth until desired consistency is reached. For a thicker soup, blend for a longer duration or add less liquid.
- Serve chilled: This soup is best served cold or at room temperature. Chill the soup for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Garnish before serving: Top each serving with a dollop of yogurt, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs or spices. This adds visual appeal and enhances the taste.

The chilled avocado and yogurt soup with tomato salsa is a vibrant and refreshing dish that combines the creamy richness of avocados with the tangy flavors of yogurt and tomato salsa.
