Method

Make the salsa by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl. Season, cover and chill until needed.
Make the soup. Halve and stone the avocados, scoop out the flesh with a spoon and put into a food processor. Add the lime juice, chopped cucumber, chopped spring onions, coriander stalks, ice and half the vegetable stock. Whizz until smooth. Tip into a large bowl and stir in the rest of the stock, yogurt and Tabasco. Chop the coriander leaves, stir into the soup and season.
Divide the soup between 4 or 6 bowls and top each one with a spoonful of salsa and a drizzle of olive oil.

You can make the salsa the day before and keep it covered in the fridge until you’re ready to eat. You can also freeze the soup for up to 1 month. If you do, defrost at room temperature, stir until smooth and serve chilled.
