R.O.D.-Cold Avocado Soup

This comes from "Country LIving" Magazine.  I have not tried it yet, but it sounds kind of cool and refreshing if summer should decide to return to us.

Ingredients

1/2 seedless cucumber, chopped

1 medium avocado, peeled and pitted

1 shallot, chopped

2 tablespoons plain yogurt

2 tablespoons fresh mint, plus 1 sprig

4 teaspoons fresh lime juice

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1 radish, chopped   

 

1. Place the cucumber, avocado, shallot, yogurt, 2 tablespoons mint, lime juice, salt, pepper, cumin, and 1 cup cold water in a blender, and process until smooth.

2. Chill for at least 1 hour. Serve garnished with the radish and remaining mint leaves.
