Spicy Cucumber-Avocado Soup

It had a weird taste and wasn't enjoyable to eat.

i'd remove seeds from the cucumbers and possibly use curry and pepper rather than jalapeño

Wonderful! After following the recipe the first time I greatly reduced the ratio of cukes to avocado: 3 avocado to about half a cuke. The first time it tasted like cucumber soup to me - lovely cucumber soup, but not what I was looking for. I added a little left-over white wine because it was next me on the counter. That gave a nice undernote. I think I'll continue that. This is my "go to" recipe for this summer! Leave it in the fridge for a couple hours for the flavors to meld.

The first time I make a new recipe I always make it as written. With this one I was afraid the jalapeño seeds would add to much spice so I did not put all in. This was so easy and so delicious. I will definitely make this again and I see no need to tweek the recipe.

Each serving is 81 calories, but it doesn’t say how many servings. Can someone answer that question?

I used a whole avocado and peeled and seeded my cukes. No yogurt. Nice combo of cold soup and spicy heat. Very easy!

I used a whole avocado and a whole hothouse cuke. I used 2 green onions instead of chives. I used water instead of ice because my blender doesn't do ice... This cold soup is delicious and easy!

Very pleasant taste. I taste tested and added more jalapeño. Amount may depend on the chili. Good as first course or complement to a cold summer dinner.

Followed the recipe and I have to say I really liked it! A little heat in a cool soup. A keeper for sure.

Like the other reviewers, I also replaced the ice cubes with buttermilk and used Greek yogurt instead of regular plain low-fat yogurt. However, to keep it on the healthier side, I did use low fat buttermilk and low fat Greek yogurt. I also used a whole jalapeno (took seeds out of one half as a precaution), upped the lime juice, used a whole avocado, and used just a touch less salt than the recipe calls for. Also only used one cucumber. With these modifications, the soup is delicious! Just enough spice to make it interesting, but still cool and refreshing.

As per other reviews I made a few changes to the recipe. I added green bell peppers, paprika, cumin, red onion, garlic powder,and cayenne pepper. The taste was very prominent, but next time I will tone down the cayenne pepper. I also added some milk to improve the consistency. Finally, I added some crumbled blue cheese for added depth in flavor. It was a fantastic addition!
