Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large English cucumber
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 medium Garlic clove
- 0.5 medium Jalapeño pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Chopped cucumber (for garnish)
- 4 teaspoons Cilantro leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the English cucumbers and slice them into chunks for easier blending. Reserve a small amount of diced cucumber for garnish, if desired.
In a blender, combine the cucumber chunks, Greek yogurt, water, cilantro leaves, lime juice, garlic clove, and half a jalapeño pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning by adding salt and ground black pepper as needed. If you prefer more heat, add a small additional piece of jalapeño and blend again.
With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Blend for another 30 seconds to emulsify and achieve a silky texture.
Transfer the soup to a large bowl or container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill completely and allow the flavors to meld.
When ready to serve, give the soup a quick stir. Ladle into bowls and garnish with a few pieces of chopped cucumber and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro leaves.
Serve cold and enjoy the refreshing flavors of this Mexican-inspired soup!
