3. Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, and smoked paprika to the pot. Stir constantly for 1 minute to toast the spices without burning.
4. Pour in the vegetable stock and add the drained black beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 1 hour or until the beans are tender.
5. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, sea salt, and black pepper. Simmer uncovered for an additional 15 minutes to thicken the soup slightly.
6. Remove the pot from heat and stir in the apple cider vinegar. For a creamier texture, blend half of the soup with an immersion blender.
7. Return the pot to low heat and slowly drizzle in the lightly beaten eggs, stirring constantly to create thin ribbons.

Hearty and robust, this soup boasts a velvety texture with a kick of cumin and a hint of smokiness from the paprika. Serve it with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for an extra layer of flavor.

Avocado and Lime Refreshing Soup

Most days, I find myself craving something light yet satisfying, especially during these warm summer months. That’s when I turn to my Avocado and Lime Refreshing Soup, a dish that’s as vibrant in flavor as it is in color. It’s a personal favorite for its simplicity and the way it cools you down without weighing you down.

Ingredients

• 2 ripe Hass avocados, peeled and pitted
• 1 cup cold vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
• 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced radishes for garnish

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the avocados, vegetable broth, Greek yogurt, and lime juice. Blend on high speed until completely smooth, about 1 minute.
2. Add the cilantro, jalapeño, sea salt, and black pepper to the blender. Pulse 3-4 times until the ingredients are just incorporated.
3. Transfer the soup to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Before serving, drizzle the soup with extra-virgin olive oil and garnish with thinly sliced radishes.

For a smoother texture, strain the soup through a fine-mesh sieve after blending. If you prefer a bit more heat, leave some of the jalapeño seeds in the mix. Always taste and adjust the seasoning after chilling, as cold temperatures can dull flavors.

Fresh and creamy, this soup is a delightful contrast of cool avocado and zesty lime, with a subtle kick from the jalapeño. Serve it in chilled bowls for an extra refreshing touch, or alongside grilled shrimp for a more substantial meal.
