From our friend Irina Wardas

Cold soups are very easy to make and they make a perfect meal for a hot summer day. If you listened to our interview with Robyn Webb, an award winning cookbook author with tips on How to Eat, Feel and Look Sexy in Summer, you already know that she likes Cucumber Soups too. So I would like to share with you this healthy Cucumber Soup recipe I adopted from www.thedailygreen.com to make you feel and look fabulous during a swimsuit season. Cucumbers and radishes are rich in silica which helps reduce wrinkles. They both also detox/cleanse intestines to maintain glowing skin.

Cucumber Soup Recipe

Ingredients:
3/4 cup greek yogurt
1 medium-size seedless cucumber
1 tsp salt
1 small clove garlic
2 cups very ripe honeydew melon
8 radishes
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1 tbsp lime juice
1/4 tsp each Kosher salt and pepper
Sprinkling of snipped fresh chives
A small dollop of greek yogurt

Directions:

In a blender, puree 3/4 cup each greek yogurt,  a cucumber, in chunks, salt, and garlic. Pour into a bowl. Add 2 cups very ripe honeydew to blender; puree. Add to cucumber mixture and stir to combine; chill.

Radishes combine in a bowl with fresh mint,  lime juice, salt and pepper.

To serve, ladle soup into bowls and top with radish salsa, a sprinkling of snipped fresh chives, and a small dollop of greek yogurt.

Bon Appetit!
