Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Cucumber
- 1.5 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
Peel the cucumbers and slice them lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon, then chop them into large chunks.
In a blender, combine the chopped cucumbers, Greek yogurt, vegetable stock, chives, dill, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper.
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add more vegetable stock, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired texture is reached.
Add the ice cubes to the blender and pulse a few times to chill the soup further and refine its texture.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if needed.
Pour the soup into a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
When ready to serve, stir the soup well and ladle it into bowls. Garnish with additional chopped chives and dill, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
