Composition / ingredients
Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Pour room temperature water (purified or simply boiled) into the blender bowl, add sour cream.
Step 2:
Rinse the green onion feathers under running water and shake from the water. Cut the greens into large pieces to facilitate the work of the blender. I added eight long onion feathers to two portions of soup. The amount of onions can vary depending on the preferences for the sharpness of the future soup.
Step 3:
Rinse fresh mint with water. You will need only leaves, without hard stems. Add mint to the blender bowl. Add lemon juice to the same place.
Step 4:
Beat all the ingredients with a blender for three minutes, working in pulse mode at medium speed.
Step 5:
Wash cucumbers and cut into circles. Add to the blender bowl. The skin of cucumbers can be cut off, but this is optional. Put oregano and green basil in a blender (I have dried herbs, but it would be ideal to take fresh ones). Add salt. Beat the soup again for a couple of minutes until the cucumbers are combined with the rest of the ingredients. Before serving, garnish the soup with thin slices of cucumber, season with olive oil and pepper to taste.
This soup personally reminds me of something remotely okroshka on kefir. It is moderately spicy due to green onions, mint-refreshing and with a pleasant lemon sourness. And sour cream smoothes out all these bright flavors, combining them into a harmonious composition.
By the way, if you take sour cream of the lowest fat content, the soup will not only remain very tasty, but it will also become less caloric! After all, sour cream is not the most dietary product.
Before serving, to get a brighter taste, you can add your favorite hot sauce to the soup. For example, bamboo stalk, chili sauce or sriracha.
A good addition to the soup will be crispy multi-grain bread or a slice of homemade rye bread. I think that if you sprinkle the soup with peeled pumpkin seeds or flax seeds, the taste of the dish will only benefit. Beautiful, but also useful as!
Of course, this soup will be especially good on the basis of young summer cucumbers, just picked from the garden at the cottage. Mmm, delicious!
I wish you a pleasant appetite!
