    Soups are normally knowns as warm and hot soups served in winters. But this cold soup is basically made with raw vegetables and served cold or chilled on summer days. One another cold soup is called Gazpacho.

    It is similar to the Gazpacho recipe, but traditional gazpacho adds bread while blending, and here in this recipe we are simply blending everything without bread.

    This chilled cucumber soup is a combination of Greek yogurt and English cucumber. Blended together with herbs and garnished further.

    Why you will love this recipe

    • Fresh & flavorful- It is prepared with fresh and raw vegetables, that are blended. Using Greek yogurt adds extra nutrition (protein) to the soup.
    • Easy & healthy- Chilled cucumber soup is easy to make in just 10 minutes. Cucumber is a low-calorie vegetable and high in water content. Using low-fat Greek yogurt adds protein to the soup without adding many calories. Overall this cold soup makes a nutrient-loaded snack on summer days.
    • Hidden veggies make it a perfect food for picky eaters. Use all your garden cucumbers to make this lip-smacking chilled soup with Greek yogurt.

    Ingredients & notes

    Please check the recipe card for the full ingredient list and measurements

    all the ingredients required to make cold soup are listed.
    • Cucumber- I use English cucumber most of the time in my recipes. It is sweet, firm, and has fewer seeds. Persian cucumber is also good in place of it.
    • Greek yogurt- Using low-fat Greek yogurt to make sure that cucumber soup is low in calories and fits in my macros. However, you can use full-fat Greek yogurt to make low-calorie and keto-friendly chilled cucumber soup.
    • Lemon juice- It just adds a bit of citrus flavor if yogurt is sweet.
    • Garlic- I love adding garlic for flavors.
    • Herb- Using cilantro here as that was my available herb at the time of making. But feel free to use Dill, parsley, mint instead of cilantro.
    • Salt & pepper
    • Garnishing- Chopped cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onions, and cilantro are used for garnishing it further.
