Description

Once the soup is processed, the addition of extra yogurt adds a creamy texture. The diced cucumber and radishes add a crunchy texture. If hothouse cucumbers are not available, substitute the firm garden variety and double the amount called for. Peel cucumbers and halve lengthwise, then seed.

Ingredients

2 1/2 hothouse (seedless) cucumbers, peeled
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 cup Fresh Vegetable Broth
4 cups plain nonfat yogurt
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 large red radishes, cut into 1/4-inch dice, for garnish

Directions

  1. 1. Slice 2 hothouse cucumbers into 1-inch pieces and place in a bowl. Cut the remaining 1/2 cucumber into 1/4-inch dice; reserve. To the cucumber slices, add the garlic, broth, 3 cups yogurt, 3/4 cup mint leaves, and lemon juice. Process well in a blender or food processor until smooth. Remove to a bowl.
  2. 2. Whisk in the remaining cup of yogurt and the remaining 1/4 cup mint leaves. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. 3. To serve, combine the reserved diced cucumber and the diced radishes, then divide equally among 4 bowls. Ladle the soup into the bowls atop the vegetables. Serve immediately.
