cold cucumber soup
Serves: 6
 
(adapted from Love Soup by Anna Thomas)
Ingredients
  • 1½ pounds cucumbers (We prefer Persian or hothouse so the skin is thin and there are no seeds)
  • 1 bunch mint leaves (about ⅔ cup)
  • 3 cups nonfat Greek-style yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon sugar (optional)
Instructions
  1. Wash the cucumbers and trim off the ends, but do not peel them. Cut into ½ inch dice. Combine the cucumbers, mint, and yogurt in a bowl and either just stir, or blend lightly in a blender. You can add a dash of kosher salt, lemon juice or sugar to taste , but we like it pure and simple!
