This soup, delicate in taste, is delightfully refreshing and wonderfully creamy. It’s the perfect May lunch, and it’s also very easy to cook!

Ingredients

• 2 cups vegetable broth or water
• 4 ripe avocados
• 1 large bunch of basil
• 4 cups natural yogurt
• Juice of 2 lemons
• 4 stalks of green onions
• Salt, black pepper to taste
• A few ice cubes
• Tabasco sauce (optional)
