ULTRA-EASY CHILLED CUCUMBER SOUP
I can't think of another recipe with such a favorable ratio of ease of preparation to final result. Guests assume you've studied under a master chef, leaving it up to you to decide whether or not to confess that this refreshing summer soup only took you ten minutes to prepare.

Steps:
- Peel and seed cucumbers, cut into chunks. Saute' chopped onions and garlic in olive oil in a large pot until golden.
- Add chicken stock, cucumbers and a fistful of peel (for color, to be removed later). Cook on low heat, covered, for 45 minutes.
- Remove cucumber peel, add cream and a pinch of white pepper. Puree in food processor, salt to taste.
- Chill overnight, serve with a sprinkle of fresh chopped chives.
- Needs no thickener, since the pureed cucumber pulp gives it a nice velvety texture.
