Categories     easy, lunch, soups and stews, appetizer

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 medium cucumbers, well chilled
4 fresh scallions
4 tablespoons coriander leaves
1 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
Thin slices of cucumber and fresh coriander sprigs for garnish

Steps:

  • Peel the cucumbers and chop them coarsely. Chop the scallions.
  • Place the cucumbers, scallions and coriander leaves in a blender and process until finely pureed. You may need two shifts. The soup can also be prepared using a food processor but the texture will not be as fine.
  • Transfer to a bowl and stir in the yogurt. Add the lime juice. Season with cumin, just a dash of salt and pepper to taste. Chill until ready to serve and stir before serving. Garnish each serving with a thin slice of cucumber topped with a sprig of coriander.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cucumbers. I always have a few extra cucumbers lying around and this is a great way to use them up.

I added a diced avocado to my soup and it was delicious! It gave it a creamy texture and a boost of flavor.

This soup was very watery. I think I would reduce the amount of cucumber next time.

I used Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt and it turned out great. The soup was nice and thick.

I'm allergic to cilantro, so I substituted parsley instead. It was still very good!

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would add some more garlic and lemon juice next time.
