Cuccumber soup recipe

hey guys and gals,
Go Italia!!
Does anyone have a cold, quick cuc soup recipe? I don't have any celery soup or buttermilk, but lots of yoghurt and cucs and dill.
Any help would be great!!

1. I have a good one

It's vegan and calls for silken tofu instead of yogurt, but I think you can substitute (hopefully). The other ingredients are basically the same. This is a very good soup. I've made it several times already this summer.

2 medium-sized cucumbers, peeled (about 1 lb.)
1-1/3 cups firm silken tofu, drained (about 10 oz) - try the yogurt :shrug:
2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
1 Tbs. chopped fresh dill
6 green onions, chopped (about 1/2 cup)

Grate half of one cucumber into large bowl. Coarsely chop all remaining cucumber.

Puree chopped cucumber, tofu (yogurt), lemon juice, dill and 1/4 water until smooth in blender or food processor.

Add tofu (yogurt) mixture and green onions to grated cucumber and stir to combine. Chill 1 to 2 hours before serving.

:hi:

2. Middle eastern....

Thin plain yogurt down with water, add chopped cucumbers with chopped fresh herbs (basil, chives, cilantro, and mint,), handful of golden raisins, chopped onion or green onion, salt to taste. I like to add chopped tomatoes. Refrigerate till cold. Serve with flat bread and melon.
