Ingredients

2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 green pepper, seeded and chopped
4 scallions, chopped
1 cup parsley, packed, coarsely chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sprigs of flat-leaf parsley for garnish

Steps:

Puree cucumbers and pepper in a blender or food processor. Add scallions, parsley and garlic and continue to puree until the mixture is smooth.
Add one-half cup of the yogurt and process until smooth. A blender will produce a finer result than a food processor, and if you do not have a blender you may want to strain the soup through a fine sieve.
Stir in remaining cup of yogurt, season with salt and pepper and chill several hours before serving. Garnish with sprigs of parsley.
