Categories     Soup/Stew     Vegetable     Side     Freeze/Chill     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy

Yield 6-8 People

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 leek white and pale green parts only, coarsely chopped
2 large cucumbers peeled and seeded, chopped into cubes
2 cups plain or Greek style yogurt
2 cloves garlic
½ cup fresh dill
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil plus a bit more for a finishing drizzle
Salt and pepper
Fresh mint
Golden raisins

Steps:

  • Sauté the leeks over medium heat in about a tablespoon olive oil just to soften and sweat them (about 6-7 minutes). Cool. In a food processor combine the leeks, cucumber, yogurt, garlic, dill and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Season to taste and reblend. Refrigerate for a couple of hours so flavors can meld. To serve, place a couple of golden raisins in the bottom of your serving vessel and pour a small amount of soup over top. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and sprig of mint. I like to serve this in a shot glass.

I'm not a big fan of cucumbers, but I actually really enjoyed this soup. The yogurt and dill really mellowed out the flavor of the cucumbers. I'll definitely be making this again.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my friends and family. I usually serve it with a side of grilled chicken or fish, but it's also great on its own.

This cold cucumber and yogurt soup is a refreshing and delicious summer dish. The yogurt adds a tangy flavor that balances out the sweetness of the cucumbers, and the dill and garlic add a savory touch. I also added a bit of grated cucumber to the so
