Steps:

• I use English cucumbers because the skin doesn't have that waxy film on it, but you can just peel them to make it easy.
• Julliene the cucumbers. Sometimes I just slice them. You want to get the cucumber flavor into the soup, so it's really just preference.
• In a large serving bowl, mix together the chicken broth, water, cider vinegar (I use apple cider vinegar), low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar(stevia) and pepper. Stir in the cucumber. Chill well in the fridge for a couple of hours.
• Just before serving, stir some ice cubes and sesame seeds into the soup. Taste the soup to correct the seasonings. It should be pleasantly tart and slightly salty, with a hint of sesame. If the flavorings seem too strong, then dilute with additional water, but keep in mind that the ice cubes will thin down the flavors as they melt.
• Carb friendly.

Steps:

• Peel 2 cucumbers, slice, and saute gently in 2 tbsp butter with 1 sliced leek and 1 bay leaf for 20 minutes, or until tender but not browned.
• Stir in 1 tbsp flour.
• Add 3 cups chicken stock and 1 tsp salt and simmer for 30 minutes. Put the mixture throuth a blender half at a time and strain through a sieve. Chill.
• Add 1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and grated, 1 cup cream, and the juice of 1/2 lemon.
• Stir in 1 tsp finely chopped fresh dill or mint. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Chill in the refrigerator for at least another 30 minutes, so soup will be icy cold when served.
• Serve in chilled soup cups with a dab of sour cream on top of each serving.

Steps:

• Finely chop a third of one of the cucumbers and set aside for when you're ready to serve later. Roughly chop the remaining cucumbers and tip into a blender or food processor along with the yogurt and lime juice. Add the tarragon, most of the mint leaves and most of the chives. Blitz until the mixture is smooth.
• Pour the soup into bowls or small cups, scatter over the finely chopped cucumber, remaining mint leaves and the rest of the chives. Drizzle with a little rapeseed oil just before serving.

Steps:

• Line a fine sieve with a coffee filter or a piece of cheesecloth. Add yogurt and strain for 30 minutes. Pour away the whey that collects.
• Peel cucumbers; scrape out and discard the seeds. Roughly chop cucumber and place in a blender. Add 1/2 of the yogurt, 1/2 of the buttermilk, and 1 clove garlic; puree. Add remaining yogurt, buttermilk, garlic, mint, and parsley; process everything until finely pureed. You might have to work in batches depending on the size of your blender. Add olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve chilled.
