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)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the English cucumbers and slice them into chunks for easier blending. Reserve a small amount of diced cucumber for garnish, if desired.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Blend for another 30 seconds to emulsify and achieve a silky texture.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Serve cold and enjoy the refreshing flavors of this Mexican-inspired soup!
