Cool as a cucumber

Been trying to find a good cool soup for these hot few days.

Wash a 4-5 inch piece of cucumber (do not peel) and put into a high Powered blender (like a vita mix) with 1/2 cup of cold water and 4-6 ice cubes.

Add two large celery stalks and a few mint leaves (you could use basil or dill too). Then add salt and pepper and a splosh of lemon juice, white wine or cider vinegar.

To thicken I used 1/2 an avocado one day and a small spoon of cashew nut cheese today (cashews, chia seeds, lemon juice, onion, with coconut oil - will blog that later).

Blend until completely smooth and serve.

Yummy, cooling and healthy.

Enjoy.
