Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cucumbers
- 1.5 cups low-fat plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 green onions
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
Peel the cucumbers and cut them lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds, then dice the cucumbers into small chunks.
Chop the green onions into thin slices, and finely mince the garlic clove.
In a blender, combine the diced cucumbers, low-fat plain yogurt, chopped green onions, lemon juice, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and water.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender a few times to ensure everything is well blended.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.
Transfer the soup to a large bowl and stir in the chopped fresh dill.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the soup for at least 1 hour, allowing it to chill thoroughly and the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the soup a good stir and pour it into individual bowls or glasses. Garnish with a sprig of fresh dill for presentation if desired.
