Ingredients

• 1 avocado ($1.49)

• 1 cup nut milk ($.40)

• 2/3 cup water

• 1 onion ($.25)

• 1 clove garlic ($.10)

• 1/2 red bell pepper ($.40)

• 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds (pepitas) ($.30)

• 1 tsp olive oil ($.10)

• salt and pepper to taste

Avocado soups are among my favorite raw soups, and the options are pretty much endless.

For this soup, which makes two large servings, place a peeled avocado, nut milk, water, half the onion, and the clove of garlic in a blender. Puree until very smooth.

Add the chopped onion and pepper, and sprinkle with pepitas. Salt and pepper to taste, and add an optional drizzle of olive oil.
