YOGURT OR BUTTERMILK SOUP WITH SPINACH AND GRAINS
This is informed by my yogurt or buttermilk soup with wheat berries from a few weeks ago, but this time I stirred chopped steamed spinach into the refreshing mixture. It's a great soup to keep on hand as summer arrives. For a particularly irresistible version, add some diced avocado.

- Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Thin out with ice water if desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill for one hour or longer.
