Creamy Cucumber Soup

This soup was an exceptionally nice form of culinary consolation after the disappointment of last week's AJ/Soupereasy fougasse project.

This chilled soup was very refreshing on a warm, humid day and very easy to pull together, sauteed onion to which cucumbers and chicken stock are added, brought to a boil and simmered for 5 minutes. The soup is then pureed with sour cream and salt and then chilled. Before serving, add chopped dill to taste.

We found the soup under-seasoned as the recipe was written and Soupereasy added pinches of nutmeg and cayenne, as well as a spritz of lemon juice, to good effect.
