Creamy Cucumber Soup

February 5, 2008 at 1:50 am 2 comments

This is a refreshing, raw soup with a savory flavor. I served it up with sprouted bread topped with hummus. This recipe makes quite a bit…3-4 cups (full blender)…so if it’s just you, you might want to cut it in half. I found this on Gone Raw…here is another version of cucumber soup to try as well.

• 2 large cucumbers, peeled and sliced
• 1 cup of freshly juiced celery juice
• 1 avocado
• 1/4 – 1/2 cup olive oil (since there was already an avocado in it, I just used a splash)
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1 tablespoon Nama Shoyu (or soy sauce)
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• ½ teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon agave nectar or yacon syrup
• 1 tablespoon mesquite powder, optional
• Celtic sea salt, to taste
• chives, chopped for topping

Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. Top with with scallions, cilantro, tomatoes, sprouts, and/or more avocado….yum yum!
