Cold cucumber soup

Years ago, decades ago, I tried a recipe for a cold cucumber bowl - seriously, the result was legendarily bad. My husband is still scared today. That's why he had the greatest concerns when I arrived with a recipe for Icelandic cold cucumber soup. Well, what can I say?

This recipe for cold cucumber soup with onion, skyr, sour cream and lots of dill is actually really tasty, the crispy croutons add a certain crunch to the food and it is pleasantly spicy.

I'll definitely remember this as an appetizer when we can invite guests over for a barbecue again!

Ingredients for 4 persons

(as appetizer)

1 cucumber
200 g pure Skyr
100 g sour cream

1 onion

4 Tbsp rapeseed oil

3 Tbsp fresh dill

salt and pepper

toasted croutons

Sunflower seeds or similar

Preparation

Wash the cucumber, peel it and cut it into coarse pieces.

Peel the onion and cut it into pieces.

Then put the cucumber and onion pieces with the skyr and sour cream in a blender, add the oil, salt and pepper and 2 (of the 3) tablespoons of dill and puree everything thoroughly.

Then keep the soup cold until serving.

Then serve the soup in bowls or something similar, add the croutons and sunflower seeds on top and garnish with the remaining dill.

Then serve the starter immediately.
