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.
