CHILLED CUCUMBER & YOGHURT SOUP WITH PRAWNS



Chilled Cucumber & Yoghurt Soup With Prawns image

My favourite soup on a hot summers day-I just love this. The prep time doesn't include chilling which I think takes about 6 hours. The canned Asian chicken stock I used to use is no longer available, so Aussies note I now use the boxed liquid stuff.

CHILLED CUCUMBER AND YOGURT SOUP



Chilled Cucumber and Yogurt Soup image

From Cardamom & Coriander by Simon Morris. Posted here for ZWT6 and my use since it's a library book. From the start I'm wary of chilled soups but I love Indian food and this looks like raita for an appetizer. Yum! Maybe this will be the soup that changes my heart... Cooking time does not include chilling

CHILLED CUCUMBER, AVOCADO AND SHRIMP SOUP



Chilled Cucumber, Avocado and Shrimp Soup image

A delightfully refreshing chilled soup -- this recipe is perfect for a hot summer day, a BBQ or even dinner party. The presentation is simple yet elegant, and the soup itself is so good and easy to prepare. There are other avocado/cucumber soup recipes posted here at Zaar, but this one is different and contains an additional ingredient: shrimp! :) This recipe was adapted from a similar one found in HomeBasics magazine. Also note that "Cook Time" is the time required for proper chilling.

CHILLED CUCUMBER YOGURT SOUP



Chilled Cucumber Yogurt Soup image

This recipe is slightly adapted from Celebrity Cruise Line's "Excite the Senses - A Culinary Journey with Celebrity Cruises" cookbook. I am a travel agent, and also write recipe reviews from cruise line's cookbooks on my company blog. I knew after tasting this one that I'd be doing it again and again! Not only is it healthy, but it also fulfilled my three E's of cooking: easy, elegant and economical. "Cook" time is minimum chilling time. I only use Greek yogurt, but feel free to use whatever you'd like.
