This Month's Free Soup Recipe and Pattern Corrections

I want you all to be cool as a cucumber so the soup recipe this time is for Cool Cucumber and Avocado Soup. Our weather is about 100 degrees so it is kind of hard to get behind a bowl of soup. Thought this one sounded refreshing.

Cool Cucumber and Avocado Soup

1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks
2 avocados, peeled, pitted and cut into chunks
2-1/2 cups buttermilk
3 tablespoons chopped red onion
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 or 3 fresh basil leaves, torn
Pinch of salt and ground white pepper
1/2 tomato, peeled, seeded and chopped for topping
Fresh basil chiffonade
Crème fraiche or sour cream for topping.

In a food processor or blender, combine all ingredients except toppings. Blend until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for several hours. Serve in bowls topped with tomato, basil chiffonade, and a dollup of crème fraiche.
