Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumber
- 3 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1.5 cups vegetable broth
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Peel the cucumbers if desired (optional for a smoother texture) and chop them into rough chunks.
Rinse the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt, and pat them dry.
In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped cucumbers, spinach, plain Greek yogurt, vegetable broth, and garlic.
Add the fresh dill, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Process the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed.
Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the soup is chilled and has a silky texture.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed.
Transfer the soup to a large bowl or container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the soup chilled, garnished with additional dill sprigs or a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
