SUMMERY GREEN GAZPACHO

Steps:

• (I am not sure which broth or stock you would use. My granular stock powder is not very salty, so my soup needed more salt than stated above. The cubes unfortunately need boiling water to dissolve, while the granular powders dissolve readily in cold water. Therefore you will have to taste and adjust the seasoning before serving).
• Rinse cucumber and cut off ends. Cut into rounds and then into cubes, and put into food processor.
• Add the cold chicken broth/stock, and whizz at medium speed.
• Add parsley, onion, yoghurt (Greek yoghurt is best)salt, Tabasco, oil and lemon juice.
• Whizz at high speed until soup is smoothly processed. It won't be, and shouldn't be, velvet smooth.
• Pour into, preferably, a glass bowl, cover, and chill. It's best to make this a day ahead.
• Taste before serving, and adjust seasoning.
