This recipe for cool, chilled cucumber dill soup uses the freshest ingredients from the garden blended with silky low-fat plain yogurt and sour cream to form a refreshing, filling “soup.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soups are an ancient food. Historians tell us that making soup is a task perhaps as old as the art of cooking itself. There is no culture on Earth that does not have its soup variations. A large pot or kettle, a fire, water, and vegetables form the basis for many soups. Add bison, elk, deer, turtle, fish, whale, or whatever other meat you have on hand, and dig in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where do cold soups come from? With the advent of refrigeration, cooling, refreshing chilled soups came into vogue. In the Middle East, yogurt, buttermilk and similar bases, such as the yogurt-sour cream base used in this chilled cucumber soup recipe, add an extra soothing ingredient during hot weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure that you have plenty of fresh dill <\/a>available to make this recipe. I love growing dill as well as enjoying it in this chilled cucumber dill soup recipe and on salmon. It’s an easy herb to grow<\/a> and one with a long and venerable history of medicinal use. It has strong antiviral properties and is an antioxidant, too. Rich in calcium, manganese, and iron, dill belongs in every cook’s garden.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
