Categories     appetizer

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks
4 yellow tomatoes, cut into chunks
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
1/3 cup chopped white onion
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
4 teaspoons minced fresh dill
4 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

Steps:

  • Combine the cucumber and tomatoes in a blender, reserving 1/4 cup of each for garnish. Add the bell pepper, onion, vinegar, 1 teaspoon each dill and parsley, 1 clove garlic and the sugar; puree until smooth. Pass through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Season with 1 teaspoon salt. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, make the croutons: Heat the remaining clove garlic with the olive oil in a skillet over low heat. Add the bread cubes and the remaining 3 teaspoons each dill and parsley. Cook, stirring, until golden and crunchy, 10 to 15 minutes. Discard the garlic.
  • Pour the soup into chilled bowls. Dice the reserved cucumber and tomatoes; sprinkle into the soup. Garnish with the croutons.

COLD CUCUMBER AND CUBANELLE SOUP WITH CASHEWS AND CHIVES



Cold Cucumber and Cubanelle Soup with Cashews and Chives image

Cool to the eye as well as on the palate, this gazpacho-like starter gets its body and buttery undertones from cashews. Yes, the Cubanelle pepper was initially chosen for its starting letter, but its mild sweetness and juicy crunch clinched the decision.

CHILLED CUCUMBER SOUP WITH AVOCADO TOAST



Chilled Cucumber Soup With Avocado Toast image

A chilled cucumber soup, whirled together in the blender to serve as an instant dinner, is one of the quiet rewards of midsummer. The trick to making it hearty enough is to not stint on the seasonings, especially when something as mild as cucumber is the main ingredient. Garlic, plenty of herbs, jalapeño and anchovy add plenty of flavor, while buttermilk contributes a creamy, light texture. You could serve this with nothing more than some crusty or toasted bread on the side and be satisfied, but a topping of soft avocado dressed with a little lemon juice and feta cheese fills out the meal nicely. And the muted green colors of avocado toast and cucumber soup look as cooling as they taste.
