DELIGHTFUL CUCUMBER SOUP
Couldn't find a cucumber soup with exactly the flavors I wanted so I made up this one! It's a creamy and uniquely flavored cool cucumber soup. It is okay to have a choppy texture rather than perfectly smooth. Whichever consistency is your preference. Serve cold.

Steps:
- Line a sieve with cheesecloth (muslin) and place over a large bowl.
- Spoon the yogurt into the sieve and let drain in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
- Discard the captured liquid and place the yogurt in the bowl.
- Add the grated cucumber, garlic, olive oil, mint, chopped dill and milk.
- Mix well.
- Stir in the vinegar or lemon juice.
- Cover and chill for 1 hour.
- Before serving, season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Ladle the soup into chilled individual bowls and garnish each serving with a cucumber slice and a dill sprig.
- Serve well chilled.
- NOTES: Cucumbers are native to Asia, where they have been eaten for thousands of years.
- They contain a great deal of water, which makes them particularly refreshing in the hot summer months.
- When choosing cucumbers, avoid the waxed variety sold in grocery stores year-round, and instead seek out the long, thin-skinned English or hothouse variety.
- It has a superior flavor, less water and far fewer seeds.
- Three lemon cucumbers can be substituted for the single English (hothouse) cucumber, if you like.

SIMPLE CUCUMBER SOUP
The most simple yet one of the best soups I had so far. A simplified version of my mum's cucumber soup. No need for salt, pepper, or seasonings, just a good vegetable broth. I like to have it with a good slice of toasted bread and some good cheese.

CHILLED CUCUMBER SOUP WITH AVOCADO TOAST
A chilled cucumber soup, whirled together in the blender to serve as an instant dinner, is one of the quiet rewards of midsummer. The trick to making it hearty enough is to not stint on the seasonings, especially when something as mild as cucumber is the main ingredient. Garlic, plenty of herbs, jalapeño and anchovy add plenty of flavor, while buttermilk contributes a creamy, light texture. You could serve this with nothing more than some crusty or toasted bread on the side and be satisfied, but a topping of soft avocado dressed with a little lemon juice and feta cheese fills out the meal nicely. And the muted green colors of avocado toast and cucumber soup look as cooling as they taste.

BULGARIAN CUCUMBER SOUP WITH WALNUTS
Walnuts are used in sweet and savory dishes throughout the Mediterranean. Along the Italian Riviera, a rich ricotta and walnut sauce traditionally is served with ravioli filled with greens. In Turkey, a thick, garlicky walnut sauce called tarator is served with cooked vegetables, much as aïoli is in the South of France. In France, walnuts are added to salads, breads and many desserts, and they are eaten fresh as well as dried - a great delicacy in the fall, just after the harvest. I've never encountered creamy, fresh walnuts in American farmers' markets, but if you know a walnut farmer, perhaps you could request some the next time they're harvested. Before the weather becomes too chilly for cold soups, try this one. Bulgaria once was well known for the number of centenarians in its population, which some scientists attributed to the daily consumption of Bulgarian yogurt. Now, both the yogurt and eating culture in this mountainous country have changed for the worse, and so have local lifespans.
