How to Make Spicy Cucumber Soup With Yogurt By Sy
- Combine 2 pounds of cucumbers in a bowl or colander and sprinkle generously with 1 teaspoon of salt. Toss gently to coat.
- Let the cucumbers sit for 15-30 minutes to release excess moisture.
- In a blender, combine 1 cup plain yogurt, 1/2 cup sour cream, and 1 cup of water. Blend until completely smooth.
- Add the salted cucumbers (after gently squeezing out excess liquid), 2 chopped scallions, 2 cloves minced garlic, the juice of 1 lemon, and 1-2 finely minced jalapeño peppers (adjust to your spice preference) to the yogurt mixture.
- Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, leaving some cucumber chunks for texture. Do not over-blend.
- Taste and season with additional salt and/or spices as needed.
- Refrigerate the soup for at least 1 hour to chill thoroughly.
- Serve chilled and garnish generously with a combination of fresh dill, mint leaves, and/or chives. A sprinkle of extra spices adds an extra kick!
