Cold Cucumber Dill Soup Tips:
Cucumber soup can be used with any yogurt. Having said that, I prefer to use a plain Greek yogurt with 5% fat to maximize flavor and creamy texture.
Vegans can substitute their preferred vegan plain yogurt blend.
Don't have dill or parsley but another herb? Cool - try cucumber soup with basil, tarragon, mint, whatever!
Don't have shallots? No problem - use a little bit of regular white or yellow onion. Shallots are a wee bit milder so consider using a wee bit less than what this cucumber soup recipe calls for.
PRO TIP: Blenders work best if the heavier ingredients (i.e. cucumbers) are on the top. The weight helps push everything else down to blend it easier and faster.
