Ingredients
- 2 (17-ounce) containers Greek yogurt
- 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
- 3 hothouse cucumbers, unpeeled, seeded and chopped
- 3/4 cup chopped red onion
- 9 scallions, white and green parts, chopped
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (6 lemons)
- 3/4 pound cooked large shrimp, halved
- Thin slices of lemon, halved, for garnish
- Fresh dill, for garnish
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the yogurt, half-and-half, cucumbers, red onion, scallions, salt, and pepper. Transfer the mixture in batches to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until the cucumbers are coarsely pureed and then pour into another bowl. Continue processing the soup until all of it is pureed. Fold in the dill, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until very cold.
Just before serving, stir in the lemon juice. Serve chilled, garnished with the shrimp, lemon, and fresh dill.

Loved with soup! Totally agree with the comment on the kosher salt vs table salt. Would be just as good minus the shrimp, but the roasted shrimp on top is a beautiful touch and made the dish look very appetizing. This recipe is a keeper!

This soup is great on its own, but I also used it as a sauce for poached salmon rather than shrimp. What a wonderful use for the abundance of cucumbers in the garden this summer!

Gosh, I don't know what I could have done wrong, but the soup was just terrible tasting. I would never make it again.
