Equipment

Ingredients
- 1 Large large cucumber chopped for blending
- 1 medium cucumber diced (save a few extra small pieces for garnish)

- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

- 1 tbsp walnuts chopped (optional)
- ½ tsp ground cumin optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, add the yogurt,1 cumber, garlic, dill, salt, pepper, and cumin (if using). Blend until smooth.
- Transfer the yogurt mixture to a bowl, and stir in the diced cucumber and radish slices.
- Add cold water gradually until the soup reaches your desired thickness.
- Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow flavours to meld.
- Garnish with chives or green onion, extra diced cucumber, and a sprinkle of walnuts.
Notes
- This soup can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for a few hours before serving to allow the flavours to meld together.
- For best texture and flavour, I recommend adding the walnuts in just before serving.
- Store any leftover cucumber and radish yogurt soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
- Stir well before serving to restore creaminess.
- *Avoid freezing, as the yogurt may separate when thawed.
