CREAMY COLD CUCUMBER SOUP WITH LABNEH
I want to incorporate labneh into dishes more often. This soup is a great dish to have by itself or as an appetizer. It looks beautiful to serve and tastes excellent. It is also an effortless and refreshing dish for summer.

CREAMY CUCUMBER SOUP
There's no reason to only use cucumbers raw--they are wonderful sautéed then pureed with avocado for a silken-textured soup that's good warm or cold.

CHILLED CREAM OF CUCUMBER SOUP
I have to be honest here. I really dislike cucumbers and dill and I have never tried this soup BUT I have made it for a summer cook out on the very high praise of the lady who gave it to me. It was well liked by my husband and the couple we had invited to dinner that night. I'm passing it along so that cuke fans might enjoy it. As written this is made for 2 but I doubled it it seemed to be fine. Cook time is chill time.

COLD CREAM OF CUCUMBER SOUP
This is a recipe by Beth Elon, who has a column every other week in our local paper. In our house it's just not Friday night dinner unless there's soup, but with the weather being so hot lately, I haven't been able to even bear the thought of sitting down to a hot steaming bowl of chicken soup, let alone cooking it on Friday. I tried this out the other night and it was so refreshing, I think we'll have this more often than just Friday nights during the summer! Prep time includes chilling (who wants lukewarm cuke soup?).

CUCUMBER SOUP
The refreshing cucumber soup is served cold, so it will go down well on a summer's day. Ladle it into bowls for a smaller gathering, or pour into small cups for an amuse-bouche.

Steps:
- As per the recipe: Peel and slice the cucumbers.
- Melt the butter/marg in large saucepan and saute the onion until transparent.
- Stir in the flour.
- Add the stock and bring to a boil.
- Add the sliced cucumber and cook until tender.
- Puree in electric blender.

- What Liza does: I use alot more cucumbers, maybe+- 800/900g and add a touch more water to the stock amount.
- I use more onions, approx.
- 2 med-large.
- Don't use more lemon juice as it changes the taste of the soup.
- Once the soup is cooked (ie. the cucumbers are tender), puree the soup: and options: can either leave the soup as it is; or put in one tub of sour cream; or don't put sour cream in the pot and only serve with sour cream as garnish.
- It's yummy.
