- 2 large cucumber

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cup water

Peel the cucumbers and cut them into chunks. Reserve a small amount of cucumber if you’d like to use it as a garnish.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cucumber chunks, Greek yogurt, fresh dill, garlic clove, olive oil, lemon juice, and water.
Blend until smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick, add a bit more water and blend again to reach your desired consistency.

Transfer the soup to a large bowl or container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, stir the soup and ladle it into bowls.
