Ingredients for Chilled Cucumber, Basil & Avocado Soup:

  • English Cucumber
  • Basil
  • Parsley
  • Avocado (see recommendations)
  • Scallions, green tops only
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • Sea salt
  • Extra-virgin olive oil (topping, optional)

RECOMMENDATIONS

  • For low-FODMAP, watch the portion size. The recipe call for 1/2 of an avocado โ€” to keep it the recipe low-FODMAP, divide the portions into 4 servings. Alternatively, you can reduce the total avocado in the recipe to 1/4 with 2-3 individual servings.
  • I enjoy topping the soup with some thin cucumber slices, basil, and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
  • Store the soup in an air-tight container. The chilled soup is best enjoyed the day of but it also keeps in the fridge for up to 1-2 days.
