Cucumber Soup

Ingredients:
2 cucumbers
1 pint plain, Greek-style, low-fat yogurt
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh mint or dill
Salt and pepper
5 ice cubes

Instructions:
Peel the cucumbers and cut them lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Chop the cucumber into 1-inch cubes. Combine with all the other ingredients except the ice cubes. You can puree the soup with an immersion blender, in batches in your food processor or even in a blender. Once it is smooth, add the ice cubes and blend until they are melted and the soup is chilled.
