Spicy Cucumber Soup with Yogurt by Sy image

This is a wonderful Cold Yogurt Soup for a hot summers day! Try chopping up the cucumbers very fine or leave them on the chunky side! It you chop up the cucumbers real fine and add more water, you then have a good "Yogurt Drink" instead of a soup! Also, other variations for this Cold Yogurt Soup are using chicken stock, buttermilk, sour cream, touch of tabasco... Enjoy!

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 -4 cups yogurt, rich creamy type (not the non-fat yogurt variety)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup water
2 large cucumbers, peeled & seeds scooped out and cup up into small pieces
1 scallion, chopped up finely
1 clove garlic, chopped finely
1 -2 tablespoon lemon juice (If using a tangy type yogurt, eliminate or use 1 tablespoon)

Steps:

  • Put cucumbers in a bowl or colander and sprinkle with salt and toss; let stand for about 15-30 minutes
  • Put yogurt, sour cream and about 1 cup water into a bowl and blend till smooth (Like the consistency of buttermilk)
  • Add cucumber, scallion, garlic, lemon, jalapeno pepper to yogurt mixture. Use a motorized hand blender to chop the cucumber finer and leaving some small chunks; not to fine though. (A Braun hand mixer-chopper works well for blending the yogurt in step #2 and this step #3
  • Put into refrigerator to chill
  • Serve cold and topped with any combo of fresh dill, mint leaves, chivesà Mrs. Dash spices and/or salt to taste.

I'm not a big fan of yogurt, but I really liked this soup. The yogurt added a nice creaminess and tanginess that really complemented the spicy cucumbers.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor. I think I'll try making it again and see if I can get it right.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it didn't really wow me either. I think I would have liked it more if it had been a bit spicier.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover cucumbers. I had a few cukes that were starting to go bad and I didn't want to waste them. This soup was the perfect solution. It was delicious and I didn't have to waste any food.

I was looking for a new soup recipe to try and this one caught my eye. I'm so glad I made it! It was so easy to make and the flavors were amazing. I especially loved the crunch of the cucumbers.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the perfect amount of heat. I think next time I'll use half the amount of chili.

Just made this soup and it was so refreshing and flavorful! I used a bit less chili because I don't like things too spicy, but it was still plenty flavorful. Will definitely be making this again.
