This cold avocado pea soup is loaded with green vegetables and enriched with Tahini (a sweet and nutty sesame seed butter). On top, it is super refreshing during summertime, especially here in Bahrain.
At the same time, it’s a nourishing and rich soup thanks to its 3 key raw ingredients. Avocado, cucumber and green peas. Tahini and lemon are another super addition to this soup for its antioxidants and vitamin C. Finally, I spice it up with some fresh garlic, chili flakes, dried oregano, maple syrup and salt and pepper to taste. As always, it is an easy recipe. I use my high speed blender to do the recipe for me. You cut. You blend and it is done.
It is a delicious thick cold avocado pea soup and if you keep it in the fridge for 30 to 60 minutes, it is a lifesaver during the summer.
Raw and cold
As it is a raw soup, it gives you a maximum of benefits. It hydrates you and brings you healthy fat. It’s just as good as gazpacho, even better.
Once you have blended all the ingredients together, if you want it cold, keep it in the fridge for 30 to 60 minutes for a cool down effect.
It will be perfect for a summer lunch or a light dinner.

Top Tip about avocado

Avocado contains good high fat that helps in appetite and weight management. It has almost 20 vitamins and minerals that boost heart health and make your skin glow.
The avocado in this cold soup recipe gives a delicious creamy texture.
So this cold avocado and pea soup is a best seller.
