chilled cucumber and herb soup

Sipping on a cool liquid is one of the only ways to get through a season that supports egg-frying on the footpath. But – know this! – you’re not restricted to a fruity juice, some amber ale or H2O to quench your thirst.

This chilled cucumber soup from Dishing Up the Dirt is refreshing, nice to gaze at it and comes with a smattering of fresh and yummy herbs on top, ticking off all our requirements of what we look for in a hot weather meal. Did we mention the recipe includes a handful of ice cubes? We’re feeling cooler already.
