Recipe adapted from Canal House Cooking, Volume No. 4 by Christopher Hirsheimer and Melissa Hamilton. This refreshing chilled soup (from their latest edition) combines rich avocados with crisp cucumbers. It's an ideal dinner for a hot summer night, as it requires no cooking and can be prepped in just a few minutes. Cooking time is chilling time.
