Chilled Curry Cucumber Soup

July 8, 2013

Cold soups aren't given enough credit.  While they may not posses the same healing effects as found in a hot bowl of chicken noodle, a chilled soup has its place.  This chilled curry cucumber soup is a refreshing shot of flavorful goodness.  Give it a try, you may find that cold soup is better than a crisp salad on a hot day.
