Chilled Cucumber Soup

Community Supported Agriculture - Our CSA delivery from our farmers this week contained lots of beautiful cucumbers. I've been wanting to try this recipe for Chilled Cucumber Soup for some time - perfect opportunity!

A beautiful light green soup

Chilled Cucumber Soup
This spicy, light, summer soup pairs well with a plate of olives, feta, summer sausage, and baguettes. Serves 4.
¾ c. sour cream with chive
4 scallions, roughly chopped (from our farmers)
2 jalapenos, seeded and roughly chopped
10 fresh basil leaves
Juice of 1 lime
4 farm fresh cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and roughly chopped (from our farmers)
Sea salt
Fresh ground black pepper
(Chill all ingredients before you begin – if you can.)
In a blender, puree the sour cream, scallions, jalapenos, basil, lime juice, half the cucumbers, ¼ cup water, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
Add the remaining cucumbers and puree until smooth. Add more water if necessary.
