Ingredients
- 2 large English cucumbers
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Peel the cucumbers and slice them lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and chop them into small pieces.
In a blender, combine the chopped cucumbers, Greek yogurt, fresh mint leaves, lime juice, garlic, salt, black pepper, and olive oil.
Blend the mixture until smooth. If the soup seems too thick for your liking, add cold water gradually until the desired consistency is achieved.

Transfer the soup into a large bowl, cover it, and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Serve the chilled cucumber mint soup in bowls, garnished with additional mint leaves if desired.
