COLD CUCUMBER AND YOGURT SOUP
Categories Soup/Stew Vegetable Side Freeze/Chill Vegetarian Quick & Easy
Yield 6-8 People
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.
