Ingredients:
- 2 large cucumbers, peeled (keeping the skin adds fiber)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for a vegan option)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 cup cold water
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Fresh mint leaves (to taste)
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients: 🥒✨
- Thoroughly wash the cucumbers and peel them if desired (the skin adds extra fiber). Chop into large chunks to make blending easier.
Blend in the Thermomix: ⚙️✨
- Add the chopped cucumbers, Greek yogurt, garlic, cold water, olive oil, lemon juice, and mint leaves into the Thermomix bowl.
- Program it for 3 minutes on maximum speed to achieve a smooth and creamy texture.
Adjust Seasoning: 🧂✨
- Taste the mixture and adjust the salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference. If you want a thinner soup, add a bit more cold water and blend for an additional 10 seconds on Speed 7. 🌟
- Serve with Style: 🍽️✨
- Pour the chilled soup into elegant serving bowls or glasses. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a thin slice of cucumber. Be sure to serve it ice-cold to enjoy its full refreshing potential. ❄️🥒
Tips for the Best Results:
- Customize the Flavor: Feel free to add some fresh dill or parsley for a unique twist. 🌿✨
- Vegan Swap: For a plant-based option, use coconut yogurt or soy yogurt without added sugar. 🥥
- Creative Presentation: Consider serving with croutons, toasted sesame seeds, or a light drizzle of olive oil with paprika to impress your guests. 🥖✨
- Smooth Texture: If you prefer a finer texture, pass the soup through a sieve before serving. 🥄✨
