Cool Cucumber Soup With Feta

Submitted by pamela t.

"I found this recipe in Bon Apetit, but omitted the mint (personal preference) and tweaked it a bit. This would be wonderful for a summer baby or wedding shower or poolside. The feta and seasonings really sparkle, and the eggs and chives give it that extra beautiful finish. Most of the prep time is chilling time"
