CHILLED CUCUMBER MINT SOUP



Chilled Cucumber Mint Soup image

A very refreshing cold soup based on a recipe from a cookbook simply entitled Mediterranean. It has a Middle Easter flavor, unless you use the habanero pepper suggested. It would be great served with fresh flat bread or naan. Cooking time is time to chill.

Provided by Isabeau

Categories     Vegetable

Time 2h10m

Yield 1 1 soup, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 English cucumbers, peeled
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 cup 0% plain yogurt
1/3 cup 1% low-fat milk
2 tablespoons of fresh mint
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Grate cucumbers and squeeze out excess water. Place in a bowl. Add other ingredients, except hot pepper and chill at least 2 hours. The vinegar will turn the milk into buttermilk and the flavors will blend.
