Preparation
Step 1
Puree the ingredients in a blender until very smooth. Transfer the soup to the refrigerator until well chilled, at least 2 hours.
Taste and adjust the salt/pepper, if necessary.
I like it extra dill/lemony and usually add more when I can. The Zest gives it an interesting flavour.
The first time I tried this I used 3 cups of yoghurt, I don't think it would lose any richness if you reduced to 1 or 2 cups... - Also depends on the water content of the cucumber.
