Chilled Cucumber Soup Shots

This is another recipe that I developed for my daughter and her fitness group.  It makes for a great summer appetizer, especially in the outdoor heat at a picnic or pool party. You can also serve this as a first course soup in a larger container garnished with some minced chives.

MISE EN PLACE

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 1/2 Pounds cucumbers (about 2 large)
  • 1 Cup light sour cream
  • 1 1/2 Tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 Cup fat free half and half
  • 1 Tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • White pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Peel and cut up the cucumbers in chunks, including the seeds.
  • Place chopped cucumbers and all the other ingredients in a food processor or blender and puree until smooth.
  • Chill well. Stir before serving in shot glasses. The colder the better. I put my shot glasses in the freezer before serving to company.
