Steps

Scoop the flesh of the avocado into a blender.
Peel and slice the banana, then add it to the blender.

Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting the consistency with more broth if needed.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with fresh herbs.

Tips for Creamy Avocado Banana Soup

A ripe avocado should yield gently to pressure, while the banana should be fully yellow and soft for a smooth, mellow soup.
A high-speed blender gives the silkiest texture; pause to scrape down the sides if fruit clings above the liquid.
Serve in small chilled bowls as a starter; the fresh herbs add a bright contrast to the soup’s creamy, sweet flavor.

Drink pairing

Its crisp, lively character balances the soup’s creamy texture and subtle fruit sweetness.

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers promptly in an airtight container and keep for up to 1 day for best color and texture. Stir before serving; do not reheat.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make this soup ahead?

It is best freshly blended, since avocado can darken and the texture may change. If needed, make it a few hours ahead and keep it covered and chilled.
