Cucumbers are low in calories, contain a good amount of fiber and water (about 95 percent). It also contains essential vitamins like C & E, minerals, and small amounts of protein and fats.

Cucumbers are a cool, mild, and refreshing versatile vegetable; they can be pickled, dipped, or added to smoothies, juices, gazpacho, raita, sandwiches, or salads. My favorite salads with cucumber are avocado cucumber salad, creamy cucumber salad, and kachumber salad.

When I have some leftover cucumbers in the fridge, If I am bored of using them with salads, then I usually blend them with yogurt, herbs, and lime juice to make a refreshing soup. It can be served as an appetizer or side dish for summer parties. This chilled cucumber soup with yogurt and dill is naturally vegetarian and gluten-free.

Cold Cucumber Soup Ingredients

  • Cucumber: I have used small Persian cucumbers. You may also use English cucumber. Peel, de-seed, and roughly chop the cucumbers.
  • Greek yogurt: Use Plain Greek yogurt or thick yogurt.
  • Herbs: I like the combination of mint and dill leaves in this soup. Feel free to use fresh herbs of your choice like basil, parsley, tarragon, or cilantro.
  • Garlic: use fresh garlic cloves or garlic powder.
  • Onion: you can use (red, white, or yellow) onions or scallions.
  • Lime juice: use fresh lime juice for the best result.
  • Olive oil: use extra-virgin oil.
  • Seasoning: salt and pepper to taste
