Chilled Cucumber Apple Soup
Recipe courtesy McCall Catering
Show:  Behind the Bash
Episode:  San Francisco Opera Gala
This recipe is available for a limited time only. Why?
1/2 cup shallots
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
4 cucumbers, halved, seeded
1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
1/2 cup seedless grapes, halved
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, diced
5 sprigs mint, roughly chopped
1 cup buttermilk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Over medium heat saute the shallots in the grapeseed oil for about 5 minutes until the shallots are translucent. Allow to cool completely and then combine with the rest of the ingredients in a food processor and puree to smooth consistency. Strain through a fine mesh strainer and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. If the soup is too thick, add more vegetable stock.
