Step-by-Step Instructions for Avocado Soup

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and sauté for about 4–5 minutes until translucent. Add thinly sliced garlic and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes.
Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer, about 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to low, stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro, and optional jalapeño. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of ground cumin and season with kosher salt. Simmer for additional 3–4 minutes.
Blend the soup until smooth and creamy, about 1–2 minutes.
Carefully fold in 3 ripe Haas avocados and blend again until completely smooth, about 1 minute.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve in bowls, garnished with toppings such as tortilla chips, cotija cheese, or hot sauce.
