1. Preparation of Ingredients: Wash the kale leaves thoroughly and remove them from their stems. Tear or chop them into smaller pieces for easier blending. Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh. Peel the garlic clove. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon.

2. Blending: Start by adding the kale leaves and a bit of water to your blender. This helps in creating a smooth base. Add the avocado, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, black pepper, and chia seeds. Blend until the mixture is smooth. Depending on the power of your blender, this may take a couple of minutes. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides.

3. Adjusting Consistency and Flavor: If the soup is too thick, add a bit more water to reach your desired consistency. Taste the soup and add salt to your preference. For a richer flavor, add a drizzle of olive oil and blend again.

4. Serving: Pour the soup into bowls. Garnish with hemp seeds sprinkled on top for added texture and nutrients.  If desired, drizzle a little more olive oil over each serving.

5. Notes: The creaminess of this soup comes primarily from the avocados. Make sure they are ripe for the best flavor and texture. Chia seeds not only add nutritional value but also help thicken the soup. They need a little time to swell, so let the soup sit for a few minutes after blending. Adjust the amount of lemon juice, garlic, and spices according to your taste. Start with less; you can always add more.

6. Storage: This soup is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for the next day. The lemon juice will help keep the color vibrant.

7. Variations: For heat, consider adding a pinch of chili flakes or a small piece of fresh ginger while blending. You can also incorporate other greens like spinach or Swiss chard for a variation in flavor and nutrients.
