Hello and happy Labor Day holiday weekend, for those in the USA! This summer really flew by, huh? In honor of the unofficial end of summer, I have a Cantaloupe and Avocado Soup recipe to share with you guys as part of my ongoing Almond Breeze recipe development partnership.
This vegan soup is cool, refreshing and bright – perfect as a barbeque appetizer or light lunch to savor summer’s last produce.
Even better is that it could not be easier to make! This is basically one of those “toss everything in a blender, blend, serve” type of recipes, which I love.
This soup is best served cold, but if you chill it after blending, the avocado will turn a little brown, which isn’t cute; I recommend chilling the ingredients BEFORE blending and serving immediately after. 
Cantaloupe Avocado Soup
![]()
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients (4 servings)
- 4 cups diced cantaloupe (skin and seeds removed)
- 1 ripe avocado (skin and pit removed)
- 1 cup unsweetened original Almond Breeze
- 2 packed tablespoons fresh basil
- 2 packed tablespoons fresh mint
- zest and juice of 1 lemon
- salt and pepper, to taste
- garnish (optional): olive oil, black pepper, diced cantaloupe and avocado, fresh mint and basil leaves
Instructions
Blend cantaloupe, avocado, Almond Breeze, basil, mint, lemon zest, and lemon juice together until very smooth.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with desired garnishes.
Tip: Start with cold ingredients so you don’t have to chill the soup after you blend it (the avocados will oxidize and turn the soup brown if you reserve it in the fridge).Powered by Recipage

And now, to cap off this recipe post, something a little different that I’ve been meaning to do for awhile now: a survey! I’m partnering up with Almond Breeze for this survey, which will help me to find out a little more about you guys, why you enjoy reading my blog, what you’d like to see more (or less) of, and whether this blog or other blogs influence your buying decisions. Some of the questions were developed by the Almond Breeze team and some were included by me. I know you’re all busy and I really appreciate you taking the time to share some feedback with us via the survey! Click here to take the survey.
The survey should only take you about 10-15 minutes to complete and all your answers will be anonymous. As an incentive to fill out the survey, I have one $100 VISA gift card to giveaway! To enter to win the gift card, simply fill out the survey and then come back and leave a comment here on this page saying you did so to be entered to win. I’ll pick a winner sometime in September and will email them directly to claim their prize.
Thank you so much for your help, and, as always, for reading my blog! I’m looking forward to seeing your answers and using them to help me make sure that this blog is one that you find helpful, fun, and inspiring.
