Instructions

Step 1: In a blender, combine 2 peeled and pitted avocados, 1 cup full-fat coconut milk, 1 cup chilled vegetable broth, 1/2 cup packed fresh Thai basil leaves, 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice, 1 small chopped green chili (seeded for less heat), 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar, and 1/4 cup cold water. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Taste and adjust seasoning by adding more lime juice or salt if needed. Chill the soup in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and soup to cool thoroughly.
Step 3: Before serving, stir the chilled soup gently and ladle into bowls. Garnish each serving with 2 tbsp chopped peanuts and 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro for crunch and herbal brightness.
