COLD CREAM OF CUCUMBER SOUP



Cold Cream of Cucumber Soup image

This is a recipe by Beth Elon, who has a column every other week in our local paper. In our house it's just not Friday night dinner unless there's soup, but with the weather being so hot lately, I haven't been able to even bear the thought of sitting down to a hot steaming bowl of chicken soup, let alone cooking it on Friday. I tried this out the other night and it was so refreshing, I think we'll have this more often than just Friday nights during the summer! Prep time includes chilling (who wants lukewarm cuke soup?).

CHILLED CREAM OF CUCUMBER SOUP



Chilled Cream of Cucumber Soup image

I have to be honest here. I really dislike cucumbers and dill and I have never tried this soup BUT I have made it for a summer cook out on the very high praise of the lady who gave it to me. It was well liked by my husband and the couple we had invited to dinner that night. I'm passing it along so that cuke fans might enjoy it. As written this is made for 2 but I doubled it it seemed to be fine. Cook time is chill time.
