Cool as a cucumber soup with mint leaves is a delicious appetizer or soup course for any summertime meal when keeping it light and refreshing is the name of the game. Make sure to chill for a minimum of 2 hours (I’ve indicated this above under ‘cooking time’), but really it’s the ‘chill’ time I’m referring to.

  • 5 – 6 fresh mint leaves (optional)

  • Finely mince garlic clove and chop dill and add to bowl.
