Chilled Curried Cucumber Soup

Ingredients

1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder

2 cucumbers peeled, seeded and diced

Combine creme fraiche, 1 cup yogurt, curry powder and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Whisk until well combined.

Stir in onion, cucumbers, cilantro and vegetable stock. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cover and chill for at least 3 hours. Meanwhile, chill remaining yogurt.

To serve, stir the soup and adjust seasoning as necessary - garnish with remaining yogurt and cilantro sprigs, if desired.

Perfect for summer, this chilled soup is cool and creamy with refreshing cucumber and just a touch of heat from the cayenne pepper!
