Cold Cucumber Soup

My grandmother introduced me to this perfect summer soup. It’s cold, refreshing, tastes a little like vichyssoise (leak and potato soup), and best yet, it’s easy to make! Here is my grandmother’s recipe:

Ingredients

Directions
1) Melt butter or heat olive oil in a large pot. Drop onions in and cook until transparent.
2) Add chicken broth, cucumber, potatoes, dill (keep whole), and salt and pepper.
3) Cook for 15-20 minutes.
4) Fish out the dill, and purée cucumber and potato mixture in a blender until the soup has a smooth consistency.
5) Chill soup in the refrigerator for a few hours. Serve cold. Optional: mix in yogurt and add chopped chives or dill to each bowl.

Enjoy!
