Ingredients
5 cucumbers
1/2 cup chopped parsley
6 scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 quart buttermilk
1 pint yogurt
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions
Peel cucumbers and cut them in half, scraping out seeds. Sprinkle the cucumbers with salt and let them stand 30 minutes. Drain excess water.
Chop the cucumbers coarsely and put the pieces in the blender along with scallions, dill, lemon juice, buttermilk, parsley, and yogurt. Blend at high speed. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill well before serving, and sprinkle with left over parsley as a garnish.
Chilled Cucumber Soup looks so delicious. I love buttermilk, so this is probably right up my alley. I like to chop up cucumbers and add them to my tuna salads, give it a nice crispness to it.

The cucumber soup tastes as great as it looks! Cucumber is a very useful vegetables, yet is very underrated and under-used in my opinion. I like adding cucumbers to many things, including sandwiches. It gives a sandwich a fresh, crisp zing to it.
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the recipe.
