Cucumber-Avocado Gazpacho image

I love this recipe when I'd like a cold soup but need a break from classic Spanish tomato-based gazpacho. Avocado is a nontraditional ingredient for gazpacho, but it makes a creamy and refreshing base when blended with almonds and cooling cucumber. I add lots of fresh herbs to brighten everything up. Give it a try and save those tomatoes for sauce!
