Avocados are high in healthy mono-unsaturated fats such as oleic acid. They also have anti inflammatory properties and are high in potassium, magnesium, and fiber. As such, they make a perfect ingredient for any keto meals. But few of us incorporate them into recipes besides the ubiquitous guacamole. Here, however, is a delicious and refreshing soup recipe called Cold Cucumber Avocado Keto Soup. Tried out by many readers, it even works well as an avocado dip for chips or cut-up veggies. Why does it work well for the keto diet? Well, each serving offers 25 grams of healthy fats alongside 11 grams of protein and just 5 net carbs. Those are nearly perfect macros for the ketogenic diet. How to Make Creamy Cucumber Avocado Soup Place all the ingredients on your counter. Get out a cutting board and a good sharp knife. Peel the cucumber and chop roughly and place into a high-powered blender or food processor. Next, scoop out the meat from a full avocado after removing the seed. Place into the blender. Chop up five stalks of celery and add to the blender. Lastly, add the squeezed lemon juice, water, sea salt and black pepper. Blend thoroughly and pour into two soup bowls. Top with shredded raw cheddar cheese or goat cheese, along with fresh herbs. Enjoy! Creamy Cucumber Avocado Soup Recipe (or Dip!)

Plus, avocado benefits everything from heart health to gut, skin, eye, hair and immune health. Zucchini, seasonings and probiotic-rich kefir round out the list of ingredients in this simple soup. Zucchini nutrition provides vitamins C, K and A, along with several B vitamins and vital minerals. It’s also an anti-inflammatory food that’s low in calories and carbs. Whether you opt for goat or coconut kefir, this fermented liquid is full of beneficial probiotics that support the gut and immunity.

How to Make Chilled Avocado and Zucchini Soup Start by adding the chopped zucchini, chicken broth and green onions in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, and then reduce the heat. Let it all simmer until the zucchini is tender, and then remove the pan from the heat. Next, add the lime juice, salt, cooled zucchini mix, avocado, kefir and cuminto a blender or food processor. Blend until the soup has a smooth consistency — no chunky bits! Place the soup in the refrigerator for the next two hours, letting it chill and allowing the flavors intensify. All done! How easy was that? Because this soup keeps nicely in the fridge, you could prepare it the night before or in the morning and enjoy later.
