Simplest Chilled Cucumber Soup
"I've had this ultra-easy recipe for many years. No cooking needed, just a food processor or blender. It doesn't get much simpler. For variety you could add some dill or other fresh herbs, a handdful of raw or cooked spinach or leftover peas, even a ripe avocado. No cream? Use whole milk, buttermilk or Greek yogurt! I recommend unwaxed cucumbers. Lime juice can be substituted for lemon if you add some green chiles to the mix."

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
