Creamy Cucumber Soup Recipe

Got cucumbers?

Maybe it's time for cucumber soup.

Many of the recipes out there are for cold cucumber soup ... basically raw cucumbers puréed with yogurt or sour cream, typically topped off with fresh dill. Those recipes are good. But check out THIS recipe: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/creamy_cucumber_soup.html

It requires sautéing the cucumbers with onions and garlic; adding broth of your choice, plus lemon juice, salt/pepper, and the all important cayenne; blending until smooth along with a nicely ripe avocado and fresh parsley; stirring in some plain yogurt at the end. You can serve it warm OR cold! Very tasty. And - BONUS - it uses up several cucumbers!
