The heat is on. It's crucial to cool your body from the inside during this period. So, why not replace your regular lunch dish with a refreshing, quick cucumber cold soup? This recipe includes one unusual ingredient that enhances the flavor.

America is currently experiencing ninety-degree heat. On such days, it's wise to keep blinds closed to prevent heating our rooms. Of course, remember to stay hydrated (up to 1-1.3 gallons per day). Wearing natural, breathable fabrics will also help.

The best ways to survive the heat

You can find many tricks for surviving the heat online. One effective method is to place a frozen bottle of water in front of a fan to enjoy a cool breeze.

However, it's also important to cool your body from the inside. The best trick? Replace your regular lunch dish with a light cucumber cold soup. We have a recipe that no gourmet can resist.

Cucumber cold soup with feta – recipe

This cucumber cold soup's unique taste is due to the addition of feta cheese. Its salty flavor makes the whole dish more distinctive. How do you prepare this amazing soup for the heat?

Ingredients:

              
  • 3 large cucumbers
  • spring onion
  • two cloves of garlic
  • ¼ package of feta cheese
  • 1 quart of buttermilk
  • a pinch of pepper

Preparation:

Wash the cucumbers, peel them, remove the seeds, and cut them into small pieces. Peel and chop the onion and garlic. Put all these ingredients in a blender, pour in cold buttermilk, and blend until you get a smooth consistency. You can blend the feta with the rest, cut it into small pieces, and add it to the soup. Season to taste. You can garnish it with mint leaves or pistachios. The cold soup is ready to eat, although leaving it in the fridge for an hour is best to cool down and allow the flavors to meld.
