Creamy avocado soup gets a brightening kiss from lemon and lemon basil in this delicious chilled soup. It's light on the palette but rich in texture, so consider serving it as an appetizer (cute in shot glasses) or as a starter.

Add all ingredients to a blender and puree until very smooth. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors blend (can be made the night before).

Wait until it's set for the minimum time before making seasoning adjustments.
