Notes
- Greek yogurt can be substituted with natural (unsweetened) yogurt.
- You can omit parsley, but I recommend using it as well or add more dill.
- Don’t substituted fresh dill with dried. This soup only requires a few ingredients, so make sure to use fresh ones.
- I normally use somewhere between ¾-1 teaspoon of salt. Feel free to use more/less, if needed.
- This recipe should yield a little over 1 quart (1 liter) of soup. When serving this as an appetizer at a party or a side, you should get 8 glasses (6-ounce/180-milliliters each). You can also serve the soup in a larger (or smaller) glasses or bowls. The soup will thicken when standing in the fridge so make sure to give it a good mix before pouring or serve it with spoons.
- This cold cucumber soup can be stored in an airtight container or jar in the fridge up to 2 days.
- Perfect for summer outdoor entertaining as it is refreshing and can be served in glasses.
