Cool Cucumber Soup

I have never had cold soup.  Ever.  This is my first, and so I have nothing to compare it to.  I don't know how it stacks up to other cold soups, but I can say that I like it.  It's simple, and good for you.  This does make a bit batch, so you may want to cut it in half.  If not, you might need to blend half, pour it into a bowl and blend the other half.  Then mix them together.  That's what I did because my food processor wasn't big enough for everything all together.  The yogurt gives this soup some added calcium and also those friendly bacteria which are good for so many things, including digestion.  So, go ahead and try this recipe.  Your colon will thank you!

Cool Cucumber Soup

3 organic cucumbers
2 organic avocados
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 cups plain organic yogurt
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 organic lemon

Peel and chop the cucumbers.  Cut avocados in half, remove the pit and scoop out the rest.  Zest some lemon peel and squeeze out the juice from lemon.  Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender and puree.  Top with lemon zest and serve!
