Re: A little something to keep you cool
Good morning! I hope you are reading this somewhere cool. I don’t know about you, but for me it’s just been too hot to cook. So, I came up with a no-cook dinner I thought I’d share with you. After all, we Dems have to help each other out in any way we can, right?
So here is my recipe for an icy cold cucumber soup. It is a light supper all on its own, but pair it with thickly-sliced ripe tomatoes on lightly toasted sourdough with plenty of salt, pepper, and good mayo? It’s something I could eat every evening until fall.
Hope you’ll try it and let me know what you think.

Scott’s Icy Cucumber Soup
2 large English cucumbers, washed (but not peeled) and cut into chunks.
3 scallions, white and green parts cut into pieces
1 ½ cups whole-fat Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 t. Worcestershire sauce
1 garlic clove
½ cup of any herbs you have on hand (dill and mint are my favorites)
¼ cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 t. celery salt
½ cup vegetable or chicken stock plus more to thin, if desired.
Kosher salt to taste
Plenty of ground black pepper
Puree the cucumbers, scallions, and herbs in a blender or food processor. Add the remaining ingredients and process until very smooth. If the soup seems a little thick, add more stock. Taste for seasoning and add more salt if necessary. Chill until very cold, at least 2 hours. Taste again and add additional salt if desired.
Serve in cold mugs, cool off, and enjoy. (Any leftover soup can be refrigerated, covered, for up to 2 days. Blend again before serving.)
Stay cool, my friend!
