Chilled Cucumber Soup

Community Supported Agriculture - Our CSA delivery from our farmers this week contained lots of beautiful cucumbers. I've been wanting to try this recipe for Chilled Cucumber Soup for some time - perfect opportunity!

A beautiful light green soup

Chilled Cucumber Soup

This spicy, light, summer soup pairs well with a plate of olives, feta, summer sausage, and baguettes. Serves 4.

¾ c. sour cream with chive

4 scallions, roughly chopped (from our farmers)

2 jalapenos, seeded and roughly chopped

10 fresh basil leaves

Juice of 1 lime

4 farm fresh cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and roughly chopped (from our farmers)

Sea salt

Fresh ground black pepper

(Chill all ingredients before you begin – if you can.)

In a blender, puree the sour cream, scallions, jalapenos, basil, lime juice, half the cucumbers, ¼ cup water, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.

Add the remaining cucumbers and puree until smooth. Add more water if necessary.
