YOGURT SOUP WITH SPELT, CUCUMBERS AND WATERCRESS
Chilled soups are terrific in sweltering summer heat. This yogurt soup in particular has nice body and crunch, from the substantial whole grains (spelt, farro or wheat berries) and finely chopped cucumbers. The addition of watercress, diced tomatoes, herbs, garlic and lemon juice means that every spoonful ferries with it a mix of flavors and textures. Use good quality plain yogurt here (preferably whole-milk yogurt, though low-fat is fine), and you will be rewarded with an authentically tangy, creamy soup that manages to be filling and refreshing.

Steps:
- Combine the spelt, water and salt to taste, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer about 50 minutes to an hour until tender and some of the kernels have begun to splay. Remove from the heat, drain and set aside.
- While the spelt is cooking, place the cucumber in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Toss and place in a strainer set over the bowl. Allow to drain for 30 minutes. Rinse well, and drain on paper towels.
- Combine all the ingredients except the radishes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill for two hours or longer. Serve, garnishing each bowl with the sliced radishes.

WATERCRESS SOUP
Richard Grausman created his lighter version of the classic French watercress soup in his book, "At Home With The French Classics." The traditional soup is thickened with potatoes; this is thickened with zucchini. I in turn adapted his recipe somewhat. Use the leaves from one bunch of watercress. PLEASE NOTE: this soup is WW friendly, even though it is not titled or categorized as such. To make the soup @ zero points, I use no fat and just boil the leeks (can sub white onion) in the broth. I usually add a little olive oil to the bowl just before serving, so if you do that, remember to count points for the oil or butter you use.

Steps:
- Remove the leaves from one bunch of watercress and set them aside. Discard the watercress stems.
- Make sure the leeks are in small dice that will cook up quickly.
- Place butter, leeks and chicken broth in a saucepan.
- Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer 4-5 minutes.
- Add zucchini, cook several minutes more, until zucchini is just tender.
- Add salt and pepper, stir.
- Add watercress and reduce heat. Simmer 1 minute until watercress wilts.
- Remove from heat and purée in a blender.
- Correct seasoning.
- Just before serving, stir in optional cream OR optional virgin coconut oil.
- Serve hot, warm or cold.
- NOTE 1: Because the traditional French soup is pale green, Richard Grausman used peeled zucchini to create a paler shade of green. You could leave the zucchini unpeeled, thereby giving the soup a darker green color.
- NOTE 2: I am now using almond milk successfully instead of cream. Try Almond Breeze original unsweetened.
- NOTE 3: See my description for making this soup Weight Watcher friendly.
