Season with salt and pepper and keep chilled until ready to serve. Serve in chilled bowls.
YOGURT AND CUCUMBER SOUP
All the fresh herbs make this cold soup marvelously refreshing. Key ingredient is raisins. Absolutely perfect if you have an herb garden; otherwise, for those of us who don't, a little expensive to prepare (unless you have use for all those extra fresh herbs) but great on the tastebuds and wonderfully aromatic nevertheless. Substitute dried for fresh if fresh herbs unavailable. I prepared this for a 3-day July 4th weekend. Cut out of an article in the NY Times, adapted from Najmieh Batmanglij, a Thai chef living in the U.S., but she described this as a Persian soup. Cooking time is chilling time.

Number Of Ingredients 9
Steps:
- Sauté the leeks over medium heat in about a tablespoon olive oil just to soften and sweat them (about 6-7 minutes). Cool. In a food processor combine the leeks, cucumber, yogurt, garlic, dill and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Season to taste and reblend. Refrigerate for a couple of hours so flavors can meld. To serve, place a couple of golden raisins in the bottom of your serving vessel and pour a small amount of soup over top. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and sprig of mint. I like to serve this in a shot glass.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Chill the soup thoroughly before serving for a refreshing taste.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as dill or mint, for an extra pop of flavor.
- Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
- If you like a creamier soup, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream before serving.
- For a vegan version of the soup, use plant-based yogurt and milk.
