COOL AS A CUCUMBER SOUP
This chilled soup makes a wonderful appetizer or side on a hot summer day. Bright bursts of dill provide pleasant contrasts to the milder flavor of cucumber.-Deirdre Cox, Kansas City, Missouri

SIMPLE CUCUMBER SOUP
The most simple yet one of the best soups I had so far. A simplified version of my mum's cucumber soup. No need for salt, pepper, or seasonings, just a good vegetable broth. I like to have it with a good slice of toasted bread and some good cheese.

SOUP THAT'S "COOL AS A..." WELL YOU KNOW - CUCUMBER!
Having tons of fresh dill and a few extra cucumbers on hand, I decided to search Recipe Zaar for a cold cucumber soup to try. However, I just couldn't find a soup that was quite what I wanted, so I took elements from a few that tickled my fancy and made my own. As always, you can adjust the ingredients to taste, especially the garlic (which can be increased, decreased, or even eliminated) and the dill. I hope you enjoy it... and be sure to leave a comment!

Steps:
- Cut cucumber into small enough sections to be blended, saving one short (approx. 2 1/2 in) section for later.
- Blend cucumber with yogurt buttermilk, lemon juice, garlic, and dill.
- Cube remaining cucumber and stir into blended mixture. This provides texture to the soup. However, if you would prefer an entirely smooth soup, just blend the cucumber chunk with everything else.
