Cucumbers are the star in this simple chilled soup, which is just as refreshing as its tomato-based cousin.

Time 2h50m

Yield about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large cucumbers, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt
1/3 cup sliced, skin-on almonds
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small garlic clove, chopped
1/2 small bunch parsley, leaves roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Toss the cucumber, vinegar, sugar and 2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl and set aside at room temperature, tossing occasionally, until juicy, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the almonds in a large skillet and heat over medium, swirling them around until golden and toasted in spots, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Add the oil and garlic, the cucumber mixture along with any collected juices, 6 ice cubes and all but 2 tablespoons each of the almonds and parsley to a blender. Blend on high until very smooth. Refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
  • Pour into 2-ounce shot glasses. Sprinkle each with the reserved almonds and parsley.
