CHILLED LEMON CUCUMBER AND YOGURT SOUP
A perfect soup for summertime-light and refreshing, getting its inspiration from Indian raita. The freshest ingredients you can find is key. Keep soup chilled until just before serving. From the book Healthy First Courses, a cookbook collection of recipes from Williams Sonoma. (I switched lemon cucumbers for standard cucumbers though.)

Steps:
- In food processor or blender, puree half of the cucumber, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary. Blend until smooth, about 20 seconds.

- Cut the remaining cucumber into 1/8 inch small dice. Stir into the pureed soup mixture and then stir in enough water or stock so that the soup is thin but not watery.
- Add the salt and pepper and stir well. Refrigerate several hours and until well chilled.
- Ladle soup into individual bowls and garnish with toasted nuts, a drizzle of lemon juice and a sprinkle of cayenne. Add an ice cube to each bowl to keep soup chilled.
