Kate
Very refreshing. The garnishes provide the finishing touch.
Elizabeth
This is slightly different than the avocado grapefruit soup my grandmother made for special occasions--but it is every bit as good!
Bracha
Very easy, very refreshing and delicious !! Since I do not eat meat, I do not use the bacon and replace the chicken with vegetable soup. Still delicious and a great soup for summer time.
Maxine W
Too blah. I added some white wine vinegar and it was great.
Cynthia
Surprisingly very good and refreshing. Perfect for a hit summer night.

Quick and low calorie version: one lg cucumber peeled and grated; one avocado, 2 chopped scallions, in blender w 2 C low fat plain yogurt, 1 14oz can chicken broth (low salt), bit of salt and powdered garlic powder. (omitted half/half and topping) CHILL. Delicious thin warm weather soup.

Next time, I will skip the half and half and add more broth. I also added fresh dill and garlic. It might need some lemon or lime juice as well.

I used Greek yogurt anyway, and it's fine. Also included finely diced shallot in lieu of grated onion--a bit of extra sweetness.

I had a cucumber, not English, and avocadoes on hand that needed using up, so I was intrigued when this came up in the search results. With the pandemic reducing unnecessary shopping trips, I decided to use things I had on hand. I subbed unsweetened soy milk and cashew yogurt for the dairy items. Chopped roasted mixed nuts were used to garnish. Incredibly delicious and refreshing.

Easy to make and delicious. I also didn't use bacon and replaced the chicken soup with vegetable soup, and it still came out great. Works well for a cold summer soup.
Tina
I probably should have considered this yields eight servings! I made this for my man and I. Turns out. he's spooked by cold soup. Don't know how I'll get throw 6 more bowls myself!!
Ruth
What do you recommend as a substitute for the half and half for those of us who cannot drink milk?
