It looks like we’re heading into another great summer season. Now that we have put the spring rains behind us we can look forward to all the local mouth watering fruits and vegetables. I have made it my mission for the summer to make at least one chilled soup a week to highlight all the wonderful flavours that this season has to offer; and with the new Cuisinart Blend and Cook Soup & Beverage Maker that mission simple.

I know everyone loves a good soup in the middle of winter but how about a nice chilled leek and potato, borscht, sweet melon soup or my personal favourite gazpacho during those warm summer evenings. The options are endless.

Here is a recipe for a great avocado and lime summer soup.

Ingredients:

• 2 large ripe avocados
• 750 ml 18% cream
• 6 standard ice cubes
• 2 limes zested and juiced
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp white pepper
• 4 tbsp thick Greek style yogurt
• 1 bunch finely sliced chives
