COLD CREAM OF CUCUMBER SOUP
This is a recipe by Beth Elon, who has a column every other week in our local paper. In our house it's just not Friday night dinner unless there's soup, but with the weather being so hot lately, I haven't been able to even bear the thought of sitting down to a hot steaming bowl of chicken soup, let alone cooking it on Friday. I tried this out the other night and it was so refreshing, I think we'll have this more often than just Friday nights during the summer! Prep time includes chilling (who wants lukewarm cuke soup?).

Steps:
- Bring the vegetable broth to the boil.
- Chop 4 of the cucumbers coarsely.
- Thinly slice the fifth, and set the slices aside.
- Add the chopped cucumbers, potato, leeks, shallot and garlic to the boiling broth, and cook until tender, about 45 minutes.
- Remove from heat and blend.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, and cool.
- Refrigerate for several hours, until well chilled.
- To serve, pour the chilled soup into a soup tureen, add the sliced cucumbers and chopped chives.
- Spoon the sour cream or yogurt on top, or serve it separately at the table.
