Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 medium cucumbers
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups chicken stock, chilled

2 shallots, peeled and minced, or about 1/4 cup minced red onion or scallion
1 cup chopped watercress (optional)
1 cup roughly chopped dill or mint

Steps:

  • Peel cucumbers, then cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds. Slice cucumbers as thinly as possible (a mandoline is ideal for this). Mix them in a bowl with 2 teaspoons salt and refrigerate for about 20 minutes.
  • Add stock, black pepper, yogurt, shallots and watercress if you like, and stir. Taste and adjust seasoning. Just before serving the soup, garnish with the herb of your choice.

I added a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh dill to my bowl of soup. It was the perfect finishing touch.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I substituted almond milk for the heavy cream. The soup was still delicious!
