Chilled Cucumber Yogurt Soup with Dill

 Chilled Cucumber Soup with Dill - Seriously Soupy

I realize the temperatures are reaching the single digits and dropping and that the idea of eating a cold soup is probably the last thing you would want in this weather. But, this little soupy was a carefully calculated ode to the warmer months that hopefully are not as far away as they seem. I also have never really made a chilled soup, except for testing out this edamame one or trying the standard chilled gazpacho soup once or twice.What I discovered was a quick and easy soup with very little preparation and one that used minimal ingredients- resulting in a refreshing and flavorful soup that could also be used as a dip for veggies or as a light pasta sauce. I hope you enjoy it and perhaps it will help you to conjure up thoughts of the warmer months to come.
