    This avocado soup is creamy, flavorful and delicious. It's an easy recipe to make with simple ingredients.

    Creamy Avocado SoupPin

    The recipe I am sharing with you today is a delicious Colombian soup called Crema de Aguacate (Colombian Creamy Avocado Soup). A mix of avocados, cream, cumin and fresh cilantro give this soup a fantastic flavor. Chicken stock is used as a base for the traditional version of this soup, but if you prefer a vegetarian version, just replace the chicken with vegetable stock.

    Colombian Creamy Avocado SoupPin

    This soup is a staple in the city of Tumaco located on the Pacific coast of Colombia. I love the simplicity, freshness and delicate avocado flavor of this Colombian Creamy Avocado Soup. It’s perfect for lunch or a quick dinner, and even as an elegant dinner party appetizer with a glass of wine! With cooler autumn weather knocking at the door, it's a great time to try this beautiful soup.

    Sopa de AguacatePin

    In Colombia and most Latin American countries we have a strong tradition of eating homemade sopas and cremas. So when I crave a soup, I immediately go to my favorite traditional Colombian soups. I was craving a thick and creamy soup last week, so I decided to make this avocado soup and it couldn’t have been easier.

    Sopa de Aguacate ColombianaPin

    Forget any avocado soup you may have previously tasted. Try this delicious Colombian Creamy Avocado Soup on a cold and cloudy fall or winter day and it may become a staple in your kitchen too. If you like, add some sliced avocado, drizzle with cream, and sprinkle on some fresh cilantro before serving. Better yet, you can add some grilled shrimp, crab meat or scallops to this gorgeous soup. Buen provecho!

      This soup look so amazing. I usually find avocado fall flat in the taste department but not this one. Love cumin and coriander, cream does not hurt. Surprised to see the avocado is cooked!

      This sounds delicious! Will be trying it tonight... I was just wondering, do you think it would be alright if I used 1 cup of cream instead of 2 cups? Trying to cut back on calories a bit, hopefully without having it make too much of a difference in terms of flavour and consistency.
      Do you think this would make too much of a difference? 🙂
      Thanks for the fantastic recipe!

      I have been looking for a recipe like this FOREVER. There is an amazing Latin/Japanese fusion restaurant near me that serves a warm avocado soup that is to die for!! I have been trying to figure out where this recipe originated from and the chef said he borrows from all parts of South America but was super coy about the ingredients. I am so glad you shared this. With a few tweeks I bet I can figure out his recipe now :-). It is so interesting to know the history behind a recipe. It makes it that more special to make and share with others. Thanks again for sharing this recipe it seriously made my day!

      Can I make it tomorrow without worrying about it going brown as avocados do?

      Please let me know.

        Do the color and flavor change if reheated?

      About a year ago, I decided to MAKE myself like avocados. Now I love them.
      The other day I started wondering if avocado soup is a thing so I looked it up.
      I am so so glad I did because this might be the best soup ever. OMG!

      Thank you so much!

      Delicious and so easy, thank you 🙂 I only wish mine came out looking as bright and green as yours but I think I can attribute that to the poorer quality of the avocados available in the great white north in the winter.

      Have just made my first batch of this soup - I WILL be making more!!! Absolutely delicious!!! I noted someone asked about freezing - I was wondering if it would work if frozen before cream added? Other soup recipes I have made that had cream added as more or less a final ingredient recommended freezing before adding the cream, and then adding the cream on reheating.

      This is a terrific soup which doesn't need the extra calories of heavy cream. I make it with skim milk bolstered by a dash of half and half and it still tastes great.
