Ingredients

For the avocado soup

3 ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth preferably warm
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fine sea salt or to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground, or to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper more or less to taste
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves loosely packed, optional

Optional toppings

4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled optional
1 fresh jalapeño, thinly sliced optional
1/4 cup sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt optional, for serving
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish, optional
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling, optional

Instructions

Warm the chicken or vegetable broth in a medium saucepan over medium heat until steaming but not boiling, then remove from the heat.
Add the peeled and pitted avocados, warm broth, lime juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and optional cilantro leaves to a blender.
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed and adjusting the broth to reach your desired thickness.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, cayenne, or lime juice to suit your preference.
If you prefer the soup hotter, gently return it to the saucepan and warm over low heat, stirring constantly and avoiding a boil to preserve the fresh flavor of the avocado.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with crumbled bacon, jalapeño slices, a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, and a light drizzle of olive oil if using, then serve immediately.

Notes

For the best texture, use ripe avocados that yield slightly when gently pressed and blend until the soup is completely silky. To meal prep, store cooled soup in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to minimize browning, then refrigerate for up to three days. Reheat gently over low to medium-low heat, stirring often and avoiding boiling to prevent separation and bitterness. This soup is naturally dairy free when served without sour cream or yogurt and pairs well with grilled chicken, steak, or a simple green salad for a complete keto meal.
