I swear it tastes better than it sounds — it’s not like a green-eggs-and-ham kind of thing. So let’s make some soup, shall we? The super-ripe avocados make it extra creamy and it’s best topped with a few diced chives and possibly another dollop of yogurt. Trust me, the name "creamy" rings true here, as the dairy-free yogurt adds a smooth, rich touch. See all soup recipes. Click here to see 7 No-Cook Summer Soups.
