Cucumber, Yogurt and Herb Soup

Too hot to cook? Make this chilled Cucumber, Yogurt and Herb Soup! It’s extremely easy to whip up with just a few ingredients and a blender. It’s nothing fancy – just cucumbers, fresh herbs, garlic, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice and seasonings – but the result is a perfect antidote to the summer heat. I also like to add in a few tablespoons of tahini. Just a touch of tahini balances the herbs and adds a subtle nutty flavor and even more creaminess to this soup.

To start, roughly chop the fresh herbs, deseed and chop the cucumbers, and juice a lemon. Then, combine all the ingredients in your blender and blend until creamy and smooth. Chill the soup until ready to serve, at least 4 hours. Serve garnished with some diced cucumbers, fresh herbs, and a few sprinkles of flaky salt. Yummy!
