Ingredients

5 whole Medium Cucumbers, Peeled And Cut In Chunks
3 cups Chicken Broth
3 cups Sour Cream (regular Tames The Spiciness Best)
3 Tablespoons White Vinegar
3 cloves Garlic
1/2 cups Shallots Or Scallions
1/2 cups Fresh Parsley (half The Amount If Using Dried)
1-1/2 teaspoon Coarse Salt, Sea Salt Or Kosher
1 cup Fresh Tomatoes, Diced Small
1 cup Slivered Almonds

Directions

1

This is super easy to make if you've got an immersion blender. Place the cucumbers, broth, sour cream, vinegar, garlic, scallions, parsley and salt in a large stock pot with a pouring spout. Process with a hand blender until only small chunklets remain.
2

Alternatively, process cucumbers, scallions/shallots, garlic, parsley, salt and one cup of broth in a regular blender. Stir into remaining broth, sour cream, and vinegar. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking.
3

Serve immediately, topped with fresh diced tomatoes and slivered almonds. Or pour into storage containers, chill and serve later.
4

Original amounts yields 12 one-cup servings. Will last a week in the fridge.

Added bonus: this is a healthy 'raw' soup and a great way to get fresh garlic and onion in your diet, which is especially good if you get a summer cold. Soup is spiciest right after you make it, and mellows with age.

Note: If you use light or fat free sour cream, then it will be a LOT spicier. You may want to substitute powdered garlic or onion, or cut back the proportions to taste.
