Ingredients

1 large cucumber, chopped

1 avocado, pitted and skinned

handful (or so) of basil

1 large clove garlic

2 tsp agave

2 tsp apple cider vinegar

1-2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1-1/2 cups hot water

sea salt and pepper to taste

OPTIONAL CUCUMBER GARNISH:

1/2 cup diced cucumber

4 button mushrooms, sliced

1-2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tsp agave

sea salt

pepper

Recipe Directions

Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth.

For the garnish, stir all ingredients together in a small, shallow bowl/cup and let marinate before hand for 20 minutes or so, at least. Drain the vinegar mixture from the cucs and mushrooms, and use the cucumber and mushrooms to garnish your soup :)

This whole thing would also come together beautifully with crushed red pepper

This sounds nice, although I'm not a massive raw soup fan. I can imagine a thicker version would be nice on zuchinni pasta.
