Ingredients
Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise. Chop the cucumbers coarsely and sprinkle with half of salt. Set them in a colander with a plate or bowl underneath and let drain. The salt helps to remove additional liquid from the cucumbers.
Place the oil in a saucepan and heat to medium. Add the scallions, turning the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft. Add the water, stock and herbs.
Rinse the cucumbers quickly and add them to the soup. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Turn off heat and let stand for about 10 minutes to cool slightly. Puree in a blender or food mill. Be careful with the hot liquid in the blender adding water and creamer. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Chill 30min and serve.
Serving Size: makes 3-1 cup servings
