This soup is about as easy as opening a can, and it is especially good for lunch on a hot day or poured out of a thermos at a picnic; it is so refreshing and satisfying. And if you have cucumbers in your garden, here is a way besides salad or pickles to use your bounty. This recipe can easily be doubled.
Recipe information
Yield
serves 2 to 4
Ingredients
2 1/4 cups plain Greek yogurt
1 1/4 pounds Kirby cucumbers, trimmed, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1- inch pieces
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Thinly sliced radishes
Preparation
Combine all the ingredients except the radishes in a food processor. Puree until smooth, then strain through a fine sieve into a large bowl. Refrigerate the soup until it is well chilled, about 2 hours or up to a day before serving. Thin the soup with just a small amount of water if it is thicker than you like. Ladle the soup into bowls, top with the radishes, and serve.
