Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the avocados, vegetable broth, coconut milk, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin powder, black pepper, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

    Chill the Soup: Transfer the mixture to a bowl or a container, cover it, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and to chill thoroughly.

      Prepare the Garnishes: While the soup is chilling, prepare the garnishes. In small bowls, arrange the halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, sliced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.

        Serve: Once the soup has chilled, stir it gently to reincorporate any separation. Ladle the soup into chilled bowls. Top with a generous amount of the garnishes and a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
