Easy, different and delicious!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is great! I used a whole cucumber, light plain yogurt, a dash of ground coriander and I didn't have any ice on hand, so... I just used a little more water in my food processor and then chilled it in the fridge before serving. Perfect! I was really surprised at how easy it was and it's really refreshing and healthy. I served it with Ina Garten's roasted shrimp with orzo pasta...compliments eachother well and is a great summery combo. Will definitely be using this soup recipe again and again! Read more

Not too bad
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The best thing about this recipe is how easy and fast it is. I didn't have a scallion so I made without. The flavor is good... but it's not something I would eat as a soup. It needs something to go with it to add texture, but I haven't figured out what.Read more

This is a great summer soup! I make it at least twice a week and my husband has yet to tire of it. He likes dill better... than cilantro so I have used that instead many times. Either way, this is really good.Read more

I'm taking this to an outdoor concert tonight, garnishing it with some chopped shrimp...used lime juice instead of... lemon...light and refreshing...and good for you, too! (makes you feel less guilty about dessert!)Read more
