CUCUMBER SOUP
The refreshing cucumber soup is served cold, so it will go down well on a summer's day. Ladle it into bowls for a smaller gathering, or pour into small cups for an amuse-bouche.

YOGURT AND CUCUMBER SOUP
All the fresh herbs make this cold soup marvelously refreshing. Key ingredient is raisins. Absolutely perfect if you have an herb garden; otherwise, for those of us who don't, a little expensive to prepare (unless you have use for all those extra fresh herbs) but great on the tastebuds and wonderfully aromatic nevertheless. Substitute dried for fresh if fresh herbs unavailable. I prepared this for a 3-day July 4th weekend. Cut out of an article in the NY Times, adapted from Najmieh Batmanglij, a Thai chef living in the U.S., but she described this as a Persian soup. Cooking time is chilling time.

YOGURT SOUP WITH SPELT, CUCUMBERS AND WATERCRESS
Chilled soups are terrific in sweltering summer heat. This yogurt soup in particular has nice body and crunch, from the substantial whole grains (spelt, farro or wheat berries) and finely chopped cucumbers. The addition of watercress, diced tomatoes, herbs, garlic and lemon juice means that every spoonful ferries with it a mix of flavors and textures. Use good quality plain yogurt here (preferably whole-milk yogurt, though low-fat is fine), and you will be rewarded with an authentically tangy, creamy soup that manages to be filling and refreshing.

Steps:
- Combine the spelt, water and salt to taste, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer about 50 minutes to an hour until tender and some of the kernels have begun to splay. Remove from the heat, drain and set aside.
- While the spelt is cooking, place the cucumber in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Toss and place in a strainer set over the bowl. Allow to drain for 30 minutes. Rinse well, and drain on paper towels.
- Combine all the ingredients except the radishes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill for two hours or longer. Serve, garnishing each bowl with the sliced radishes.
