Chilled Avocado and Mint Soup
Dear Kermit the Frog,
I respectfully disagree. It is quite easy to be green, especially when you’re a smooth and creamy avocado soup. It’s fun to be “cool and friendly-like,” bringing people together in the kitchen–because they really won’t want to wait for you to make it to the table. Yes, it’s easy to be green, and sweet, and a bit spicy, when you bring together avocado and lime and mint with cayenne.
It’s easy to be green when you’re topped with a sprinkling of feta cheese. Or crumbled crackers. Or homemade croutons. Yes, Kermit, it’s easy being green when you’re a vegan, gluten-free chilled avocado and mint soup–for as long as you last. Which won’t be long; after all, avocado and mint and cayenne together can make a Piggy out of anyone.
But still, it’s easy being green.
I miss avocados 🙁
But I do like Kermit! 🙂
I thought of you when I was making this because of our conversation about my allergy to bananas and yours to avocados. Frankly, I’d rather have my allergy. 🙂
Ooo this looks delicious, how flavorful! Great blog you have here, so glad to be your newest follower! 🙂
Hi, Kelly! Great to have you here…I really enjoy your blog, so I’m glad you’re enjoying mine. 🙂
This is too funny with Kermit. Love the intro to this gorgeous soup. Avocado and mint sounds a wonderful combination!
re: Kermit, I couldn’t help myself. My favorite song is a Kermit song (“Rainbow Connection”), and I just had to address him when talking about being green. 🙂
Wow!! I would never have thought to make an avocado soup, but it sounds so intreguing!!
This soup looks delicious and perfect for the summer. Yum!
This looks so wonderful! I cannot WAIT to try this out!
Steph–Thanks for stopping by! This is different from your traditional soups or gazpachos, but I love it. Then again, I’m a sucker for anything avocado.
Happy When…–It’s been so ridiculously hot here in NYC that I’ve resorted to making cool foods as much as possible, so summer was definitely the inspiration for this one. 🙂
Kaitlin–Thanks for your comment. Stop back by and let us know how it goes if you end up making it.
