COLD CUCUMBER AND YOGURT SOUP image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Vegetable     Side     Freeze/Chill     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy

Yield 6-8 People

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 leek white and pale green parts only, coarsely chopped
2 large cucumbers peeled and seeded, chopped into cubes
2 cups plain or Greek style yogurt
2 cloves garlic
½ cup fresh dill
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil plus a bit more for a finishing drizzle
Salt and pepper
Fresh mint
Golden raisins

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.

I'm not sure why, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I must have added too much cucumber.

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day.

I'm not a big fan of yogurt, but I really enjoyed this soup. The cucumber and honey balanced out the tanginess of the yogurt perfectly.

Not bad, but not great. I think I'll stick to my usual cucumber salad recipe.

Cucumber and yogurt soup always reminds me of summer vacations at my grandparents. I love the cold, refreshing taste, and I always feel a little bit healthier after eating it.
