The ingredients for Carrot-Avocado Soup are:

3 large organic tomatoes, chopped
2 Tablespoons green onions, chopped
Small handful fresh basil, chopped
1 avocado, peeled, pit removed
Juice from 1/2 a lemon
Approx 1 1/2 cups freshly-juiced carrots
Approx 1/3 teaspoon cumin

Here is how you make Carrot-Avocado Soup:

PREPARATION: Place tomatoes, green onions, basil and avocado into large mixing bowl if using immersion blender (or large blender or food processor). Pour in carrot juice. Add cumin. Add lemon juice. Whiz up with immersion blender (or blend in blender or food processor) until smooth. You may think it's a funny color, but fear not. The taste is superb! If you'd like, you can strain it before serving, but I like mine a bit chunky, with the veggies left in. There you have it: A fantastic, chilled, raw, summer soup that's really good for you and your family. I'm sure you'll all love it!Note: This recipe is great for mixed or carb types. If you're a carb type, omit the avocado. But if you really like avocado, go ahead and add a little bit in if you want to. Number of Servings: 5Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BGERSTENZANG.
