Cool Cucumber Soup

 
Posted by Picasa

It has been about a week since my daughter moved out of state, sorta missing her today. I made cold cucumber yogurt soup and I know she would have enjoyed it. The other two boys I live with will not eat anything green.
I also want to thank for the folks that sent me a kind word and poems.... I remember meeting someone a few months ago who told me her son after college just joined the service.... I thought how horrible for that mom, but she told me as long as my son is happy, I am happy, so that is my advice I am telling myself.
So if you have a garden filled with cucumbers, try this soup it is surprising good.


Ingredients
2 cucumbers, peeled, seeds removed
1 garlic clove, minced
4 cups lowfat plain yogurt
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tbs. dill, chopped
Directions
1.Mash the garlic with salt and then add all the other ingredients in blender
2.Add additional salt to taste.
3.Refrigerated at least two hours before serving to allow flavors to mingle.
4.Serve chilled.
Optional: Sprinkle with chopped walnuts and add a teaspoon of good olive oil. ENJOY! GAYLE
