How to Make Spicy Cucumber Soup With Yogurt By Sy

  1. Combine 2 pounds of cucumbers in a bowl or colander and sprinkle generously with 1 teaspoon of salt. Toss gently to coat.
  2. Let the cucumbers sit for 15-30 minutes to release excess moisture.
  3. In a blender, combine 1 cup plain yogurt, 1/2 cup sour cream, and 1 cup of water. Blend until completely smooth.
  4. 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.
  5. Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, leaving some cucumber chunks for texture. Do not over-blend.
  6. Taste and season with additional salt and/or spices as needed.
  7. Refrigerate the soup for at least 1 hour to chill thoroughly.
  8. 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!
