Cucumber Soup I
I don't even know if it's fair to rate this recipe since I varied sooooo far from what is stated. BUT I decided to go ahead to show just what a great base it is! I made this, last minute, to use excess cukes from the garden, so I had to use what was on hand. White onion; raspberry balsamic vinegar; 3-4oz firm tofu; in place of farina:about 2-3T nutritional yeast & 2T dry cream of broccoli soup powder; chopped fresh basil, oregano & chives; 1t minced garlic; 1 small jalepeno-seeded, no membranes. I knew I was going to be pureeing this in my VitaMix so I didn't bother peeling the cukes (preserving the vitamins) by the time it's through there is no sign of skin or anything solid.
I plan to serve this chilled with dinner, BUT it was so darned good that I had a cup hot for lunch! (And I just realized that I ate it without the sour cream -less calories and STILL delicous!!!) ...but I WILL add it when we have it chilled with dinner.
**I LOVE the idea of adding fresh avacado (and maybe lime & cilantro too) oh the possibilities!!!
