Many soups rely on carb-heavy ingredients like potatoes, and this means lung-healthy soup options can be hard to find. Lung Health Institute is here to help by offering a low-carb chilled avocado soup. This soup offers a hefty dose of healthy fats and protein in every serving thanks to ingredients like avocado and unsweetened almond milk.
Our chilled avocado soup is also extremely versatile, and it can be used as a nutritious, stand-alone lunch. It can also be paired with proteins like shrimp, as it is in this recipe, for an even more filling lunch option. This soup can even be used as a side dish for some of our delicious dinner recipes, such as our lung-healthy steak nacho skillet.
