Recipe type: Soup
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • For Avocado Soup:
  • 3 medium avocados
  • 2-3/4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • ¾ cup low-fat milk
  • ½ cup low-fat plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ¾ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • For Pineapple Salsa:
  • 1 fresh pineapple
  • ¼ English cucumber, peeled
  • ¼ medium red onion
  • ½ jalapeno pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. To make the soup: Slice the avocados lengthwise, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh, dropping it into the jar of a blender or food processor. Add the vegetable broth, milk, yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and puree until smooth. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
  2. While the soup is chilling, prepare the salsa: Slice the top off the pineapple, and then cut off all of the skin. Quarter the pineapple lengthwise, remove the core, and refrigerate 3 of the quarters for another use. Cut the remaining quarter into ½-inch dice. Finally chop the cucumber and red onion. Halve the jalapeno lengthwise, discard the seeds, and finally chop. Place the pineapple, cucumber, onion, and jalapeno in a small bowl, and add the chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Cover the bowl in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to marinate until the flavors are combined, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  3. To serve, ladle 1-1/4 cups of the soup into each of four soup bowls and top each bowl with ¼ cup of the pineapple salsa.
