Chilled Cucumber And Yogurt Soup With Mango And Fresh Herbs
- 2 English Cucumbers - peeled, seeded, and diced
- 1 Yellow Bell Pepper - seeded and diced
- 4 Green Onions - white and green parts, rough chopped
- 1 Garlic clove - minced
- 1 Jalapeno - seeded and diced
- 1 big handfuls Cilantro - leaves and some stems, rough chopped
- 1 big handfuls Fresh HBasil and/or Mint (I used both!) - rough chopped
- generous pinches Cumin seeds
- 14 ounces Plain nonfat Greek Yogurt (2 single serving containers)
- 1/2 Lemon
- generous splashes Sherry Vinegar
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Diced Mango or Peach, Red Onion, Cucumber, Bell Pepper, and Fresh Herbs for garnish
- Place first 9 ingredients (cucumber through yogurt) into blender in 2 batches to combine into smooth puree. rn*reserving a small amount of cucumber, bell pepper, and herbs for garnish.
- After second batch is pureed you should be able to add first batch back in, now you can 'season' to taste...
- Add juice of half a lemon, a good splash of sherry vinegar, and salt/pepper - then give it a buzz.
- Now give it a taste, you may need more acid (lemon/vinegar) or salt - that is up to you.
- Refrigerate a minimum of 3 hours or ideally overnight to chill and develop flavor. (Keeps well up to 3 days, it gets better with age!)
- Pour into soup bowls (or shot glasses) and top with minced mango (or peach), red onion, cucumber, bell pepper, and fresh herbs. Enjoy!
