Darn, I was really excited to try one of Emeril's recipes but it was not good at all. I chilled it but did not help. I threw it out.

Really easy recipe that results in a smooth, cool and refreshing appetizer (as I used it.
The spices in this recipe kick in on the 2nd-3rd taste - and really adds a great deal to the overall effect.
I have to admit to having an issue with eating a "cold" soup. Husband, and - surprise! - 23 year old nephew really liked it.
It makes too much for a couple. I'm hoping, though, that the soup will even get better after a day in the refrigerator.

It was over 100 degrees yesterday and I had a couple of Seedless cucumbers that I needed to use up. This was wonderful. My husband turned up his nose at first, till I made him taste. I garnished with a cubed an avocado in addition to the chives an sour cream. Amazing, cool and refreshing!

This is delicious BUT too much cayenne pepper and too much salt. It has a "hot" and salty aftertaste...unlike what I expected of a light summer cold soup. Go light at first and then you can add more at the end if you want. You can still taste the cucumber but it didn't have a nice light flavor. Salt is for enhancing the flavors...it shouldn't actually taste like salt which this does. On the TV show I don't remember Emerill using any "Creole Essence" like it calls for in the online recipe...maybe that's the problem because there is more salt and cayenne pepper in that as well as more salt and pepper in the recipe.

I drained a 32oz. tub of low-fat yogurt into a cheesecloth over a bowl for 8 hours. This reduced the yogurt to about three cups otherwise with all the water from the cucumber, the soup would have been too watery for me.
This is EXCELLENT! I'd use only one jalapeno in the future. Whew!

How can I improve on the 5-star rating this recipe already has? FABULOUS. We have admired Emeril for years, and continue to watch for new ideas. This cold cucumber soup is a refreshing lunch idea for the hot humid weather we've been having. THANK YOU!
