CHILLED CUCUMBER SOUP WITH AVOCADO TOAST
A chilled cucumber soup, whirled together in the blender to serve as an instant dinner, is one of the quiet rewards of midsummer. The trick to making it hearty enough is to not stint on the seasonings, especially when something as mild as cucumber is the main ingredient. Garlic, plenty of herbs, jalapeño and anchovy add plenty of flavor, while buttermilk contributes a creamy, light texture. You could serve this with nothing more than some crusty or toasted bread on the side and be satisfied, but a topping of soft avocado dressed with a little lemon juice and feta cheese fills out the meal nicely. And the muted green colors of avocado toast and cucumber soup look as cooling as they taste.

Steps:
- First, prepare the Pinto beans according to the directions on the packaging. This may require an overnight soak. When cooking the beans, only cook them about halfway. You can prepare the stock as they cook.
- Next, prepare the stock: Fill a large pot with 6 cups of water, and bring to a low boil. Coarsely chop Onion, and add to pot. Cut up 1 avocado into large pieces and add to pot. Cut the top off of the Habañero pepper, and add to pot. Break flounder fillet into small pieces, and add to pot. Whisk 1 tablespoons of Wasabi mustard into the pot. Add 1 tablespoons of Horseradish to pot. Finally, add the partially cooked pinto beans to the pot. Now, let the whole mixture simmer for about 1 hour.
- While the stock simmers, you can prepare the base: Cut up the 2 remaining avocados and place in a blender. Add another 1 tablespoons of Wasabi mustard to the blender, along with 1/4 cup of water. Scoop out the other avocado and the Habañero pepper from the stock pot, and add to the blender. Blend these ingredients until they are fully puréed. You may need to add another 1/4 cup of water.
- Now, strain the stock through a colander to remove the onion, fish pieces, and beans, but KEEP the strained liquid. That is your stock. You can discard the onions, fish, and beans, or use them in another dish. I added them to some whole grain rice for a healthy, fiber-rich side dish.
- Pour the strained stock back into the large pot. Put it on medium-low heat, and gradually whisk in the avocado purée, until fully blended. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Tip: If the soup is too thin, let it simmer for a while and it will reduce and get thicker. If the soup is too thick, you can add a bit of water.
Tips:
- To ensure a creamy texture, select ripe avocados with a slight yield when gently pressed.
- For a refreshing touch, use chilled cucumber and avocado.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeño pepper based on your desired level of spiciness. Remove seeds for a milder soup.
- Use fresh herbs like cilantro, dill, or chives to enhance the soup's flavor and aroma.
- For a tangy variation, add a squeeze of lime or lemon juice before serving.
- Garnish the soup with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream for an extra creamy touch.
- Experiment with different toppings like crumbled feta cheese, chopped walnuts, or roasted pumpkin seeds for added texture and flavor.
