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!
To make the Cucumber, Yogurt and Herb Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
To a blender, add 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh dill, ¼ cup chopped spring onions or chives, 2 tablespoons fresh coarsely chopped parsley leaves, 2 deseeded and chopped English cucumbers, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 garlic clove, 1 ¼ cups plain Greek yogurt, ¼ cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons tahini, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper.
Blend until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust for seasonings if needed.
Cover and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
Just before serving, stir in 1 tablespoon rice vinegar.
To serve, stir the chilled soup and divide it between the bowls. Scatter the reserved diced cucumbers and fresh chopped herbs over each bowl and add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top. Enjoy!
