Instructions
-
Prepare the ingredients: Start by peeling the cucumbers and cutting them into chunks for easier blending. Wash the fresh mint leaves thoroughly to remove any dirt.
-
Blend the soup: In a blender, combine the cucumbers, mint leaves, low-fat yogurt, and a pinch of salt. Blend everything together until smooth and well incorporated.
-
Adjust consistency: If the mixture seems too thick for your liking, you can add a small amount of cold water to thin it out to your preferred consistency.
-
Chill the soup: Transfer the blended mixture into a bowl or container, cover it, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to an hour for an even more refreshing taste.
-
Serve: Once chilled, serve the soup in bowls. Garnish with a few extra mint leaves for an extra touch of color and freshness.
Tips for Success
- To elevate the flavor, try adding a small squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a pinch of black pepper.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, add more yogurt or a small amount of cucumber pulp.
- This soup is ideal as a light starter for lunch or dinner, especially on hot summer days when you want something cool and hydrating.
