Do you peel cucumbers for a chilled soup recipe?

Yes I recommend peeling your cucumbers for a light and creamy chilled cucumber soup.

Can you freeze cucumbers for soup?

Yes you can freeze sliced cucumber. Cucumbers can last in the freezer for six to nine months if you prepare them properly. To thaw frozen cucumbers, place the slices in a large bowl and allow them to thaw in the refrigerator for six to eight hours. Drain the cucumber slices and use them for cucumber salad, cucumber soup, or other cucumber recipes.

How long does a cucumber last in the fridge?

A properly stored cucumber can last up to one week in the refrigerator. For sliced cucumbers wrap in a paper towel to absorb moisture and place in an air tight storage container of mason jar. If you're looking for a long-term storage solution, you could try freezing your cucumbers.

Instructions

Peel Cucumbers and slice lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and place them in a bowl. Now slice the cucumber into 1/4 inch thick pieces and set aside.
In a blender or a Mini kitchen chopper which is what I used, combine the cucumber seeds and lemon juice and puree until smooth. Add 2 cups of the yogurt and process together until blended smooth.
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and stir in the 1/4 inch cucumber pieces. Add chives and cilantro and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Ladle the soup into 4 bowls and top each with 1 tablespoon of remaining yogurt. Yields about 1 1/2 cups per serving.
