Author Notes: A simple base recipe for a velvety bright chilled soup combines avocado, lime and almond milk. Fresh garbanzo beans give some texture and protein. For an enhanced flavor profile add in a third cup of English cucumbers and two scallions. Sunflower seeds could be substituted for pistachios. - Sagegreen
Serves 2
- 5 ounces mashed avocado
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice
- pinch of pink Himalayan salt, freshly grated if possible
- 1/4 cup fresh garbanzo beans
- 8 ounces unsweetened almond milk
- small handful of crushed pistachos
- sprigs of dill (bronze dill featured here)
- Squeeze the lime juice over the avocado. Add to a blender with salt, beans, and almond milk. Process until smooth. Test for desired seasoning and thickness. Adjust.
- Scoop into small bowls. Garnish with pistachios and dill.

While Peter no longer works for Food52 he still thinks up ways to make the website better.
I'm very sorry to say that we had a bit of a data disaster here at Food52 HQ and the result is that some recipes *appear* somewhat scrambled. If you edit and save your recipe any incorrect ingredients or steps *should* be fixed, but... I'm sorry to say your recipe intro/headnote is likely still going to be incorrect and will need to be re-entered. :-(

Somehow my headnote has been merged with someone else's with another recipe added on as well! Maybe while the site crashed, there were some odd meldings?

Sounds delicious and refreshing. And a good warning about not eating it all at once!
