Refreshing & good, but both hubby & I agreed it needs a little more seasoning. Perhaps a dash of nutmeg, more garlic & some Frank’s hot sauce. I didn’t add extra water- not needed-perfect consistency without it. The little bit left was actually tastier the next day. Great use of plentiful summer cucumbers!
I didn’t have a grater, so I chopped. And chopped. And chopped. In the end, it was worth it! Very refreshing. I used non-fat Greek yogurt and it turned out great.
Not a fan of the faint taste of honey
So simple so delicious! I had a few giant over grown cucs and this soup made the day!
That is a strange modification of the Bulgarian cucumber cold soup called Tarator in our country!
REMOVE honey from recipe!!!
ADD a small handful of crushed walnuts per serving.
TRY to mix/process yoghurt, garlic, spices together before adding crushed walnuts, grated or finely diced cucumber and finely cut dill.
Those three ingredients are not being “creamed” according to our original recipe. So it’s crunchy and you have something to chew. It’s a traditional summer soup in Bulgaria, and part of our cuisine 🙂
I came across this recipe last week and have made it twice already. I add more dill and garlic and garnish with olive oil and basil. It is a great appetizer for fish.
Easy and excellent. We garnished it for company with thin slices of lemon and/or cucumber
I think it is wonderful on a hot summer day. A great starter to a light meal. Cool, crisp and creamy. A great use of an abundance of cucumbers.
When cucumbers are in season this is a nice change from a salad before dinner.
