Ingredients

• 2 whole English cucumber
• 1.5 cups Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 1 clove Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cups Cold water
• 2 tablespoons Chopped chives (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cups Croutons (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and pat them dry. Peel them (optional: you can leave some peel on for added color and texture) and slice them into chunks.

Step 2

In a blender or food processor, combine the cucumber chunks, Greek yogurt, fresh dill, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, and cold water.

Step 3

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the soup seems too thick, add a little more cold water and blend again until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 4

Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preferences.

Step 5

Transfer the soup to a large bowl or pitcher, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to chill completely and let the flavors meld.

Step 6

Before serving, give the soup a good stir and pour it into serving bowls.

Step 7

Garnish with chopped chives, croutons, or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing coolness!
