Cold Cucumber Soup

Tasty cold cucumber soup with fresh herbs and toasted walnuts will do the trick! Think of this as a cucumber gazpacho with a cool, creamy yogurt base. This is great to prepare in advance so it has time to chill in the fridge.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 1 cucumber Persian or English
  • 2 cups plain whole milk yogurt (not Greek yogurt)
  • 1 1/2 cups water ice
  • 1 cup fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, dill, and/or mint, chopped
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • 3/4 teaspoon sumac plus more for serving
  • kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Toast the walnuts. In a small skillet on medium-low heat, swirl and toss the walnuts until they get soft, golden, and fragrant, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to cool, then finely chop.
  2. Prep the cucumber. Thinly slice 1/4 of the cucumber and set aside for serving. Slice the remaining cucumber in quarters lengthwise, then use a metal spoon to scrape out and discard the seeds. Finely chop the remaining cucumber.
  3. Make and chill the soup. In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt and ice water. Stir in the chopped cucumbers, herbs, raisins, and chopped walnuts. Season with a pinch of salt. Cover and chill for one hour, or up to 3 days.
  4. Serve. Divide the chilled cucumber soup into four serving bowls. Sprinkle sumac and herbs on top and finish with a few cucumber slices to each bowl.
