Soup of cucumber, yogurt and olive oil

Ingredients :

• 2 medium cucumbers, peeled and seeded
• 2 natural yogurts (around 250g)
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1 green onion
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• 1 handful of fresh mint
• 1 handful of fresh parsley
• Salt and pepper
• A few ice cubes (optional, for a very cold soup)
• Olive oil with Lemon or Herbes de Provence according to preference

Recipe : 

1. Peel the cucumbers and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds using a spoon, then cut the cucumbers into pieces.

2. In a blender, add the cucumber pieces, natural yogurt, garlic, green onion, lemon juice, olive oil, mint and parsley. Mix until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous texture.

3. Salt and pepper to taste. Mix again to incorporate the seasonings.

4. For a nice cold soup, you can add a few ice cubes to the blender and blend again, or simply refrigerate the soup for at least 1 hour before serving.

5. Pour the soup into bowls or deep plates. Garnish with a few mint or parsley leaves for decoration. Add a drizzle of Lemon or Herbes de Provence flavored olive oil according to preference.

Tips :

• For an even smoother version, you can add half an avocado or a little crème fraîche when mixing.

• Adjust the acidity by adding a little more lemon juice to taste.
