As the temperatures climb, it’s a smart idea to keep a stash of no-cook recipes handy. 

We’re hoping to brave it out again this summer and get by without air conditioning. It’s doable, up here in Michigan, unless we get a abnormally hot summer.

On the days when the temperature spikes, though, we can only keep from melting by drinking lots of ice water, blasting the fans, and under no circumstances using the oven!

That’s when a recipe like this chilled cucumber and avocado soup comes in handy! It’s all raw, and because of the healthy fats like olive oil and avocado, it’s quite filling, too! Check out the ingredients:

  1. You mentioned this soup is “all raw.” Actually, for someone who actually creates Raw Vegan Food dishes & educates others on them, I’ll have to let you know that 2 ingredients you are listing are not raw: chicken broth and sour cream (due to them being animal products which both have heat processing that occurs). In order to keep everything raw (which we easily do in our recipes while keeping all of the flavor while retaining essential enzymes and nutrients), using all raw plant-based ingredients is key. Otherwise, I applaud your effort in making a chilled veggie soup for your group.

    1. That is good to know! I guess I meant “raw” as in you don’t have to cook it, rather than “Raw” as in the diet. So if someone wanted to make this legitimately Raw, could they use vegetable broth and skip the sour cream?

    1. Yes, there’s something very satisfying about a harmony of shades! I bet I’d like that orange soup…especially if it has pumpkin in it!

  2. My husband loves soup and I make it all winter. Can you believe I’ve never thought of making him cold soup in the summer? My niece makes a pumpkin bisque for Thanksgiving but I think that’s the only cold soup I’ve tried. I think anything with these ingredients is sure to be delicious.
