Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 medium cucumbers, well chilled
4 fresh scallions
4 tablespoons coriander leaves
1 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
Thin slices of cucumber and fresh coriander sprigs for garnish

Steps:

  • Peel the cucumbers and chop them coarsely. Chop the scallions.
  • Place the cucumbers, scallions and coriander leaves in a blender and process until finely pureed. You may need two shifts. The soup can also be prepared using a food processor but the texture will not be as fine.
  • Transfer to a bowl and stir in the yogurt. Add the lime juice. Season with cumin, just a dash of salt and pepper to taste. Chill until ready to serve and stir before serving. Garnish each serving with a thin slice of cucumber topped with a sprig of coriander.
