Best Iced Oj And Lemon Cucumber Soup Recipes

LEMON ICE I

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together lemon juice and zest with sugar until smooth. Slowly stir in milk. Pour into a 9x9 inch dish and place in freezer, stirring once when it begins to harden; freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.
• You may also use an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. When sherbet is soft-serve consistency, serve immediately, or transfer to a container and freeze until firm.

ICED CUCUMBER SOUP

Steps:

• Peel and seed the cucumbers, cut them into 1/4-inch dice and toss with the salt; set aside for 15 minutes. Transfer the cucumber cubes to a sieve, rinse them under water and pat dry with towels.
• In a bowl combine the cucumbers and yogurt. Gradually and slowly whisk in the olive oil, making sure yogurt absorbs it all. Add the garlic clove and mint, cover and refrigerate until well chilled. (If taking the soup on a picnic, chill it first in a bowl, then transfer it to a thermos.)
• Before serving, remove the garlic cloves, give the soup a stir and thin with ice water if you wish; adjust the seasoning.
• Ladle the soup into chilled soup plates and stir in the raisins, then garnish with walnuts and chives. If you wish, immediately before serving, you can drop some crushed ice into each plate.

ICED CUCUMBER SOUP

Steps:

• Whisk together the milk and yogurt.
• Gradually add the wine and lemon juice.
• Stir in the onion, garlic, cucumber, salt and pepper.
• Cover and refrigerate 1 hour before serving.
• Garnish as you wish.

CHILLED LEMON CUCUMBER AND YOGURT SOUP

Steps:

• In food processor or blender, puree half of the cucumber, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary. Blend until smooth, about 20 seconds.
• In a serving bowl, combine the pureed cucumber, yogurt, buttermilk, olive oil, garlic, fresh chives and dill, and pepper flakes. Stir to mix well.
• 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.
