Cool Down on Meatless Monday with Cucumber Soup

The dog days of summer have hit before we're ready, and the temperatures make any kind of activity at the stove a chore.  Cool Cucumber Soup is the perfect soulution for Meatless Monday.

You'll need:

• 4 medium cucumbers, peeled and seeded
• 1 c melon-you can use honeydew or even watermelon
• 1 T. kosher salt
• 1 clove garlic - pressed
• 1/4 c mint
• 1 1/2 c Stonyfield greek yogurt
• white pepper to taste {you can use black pepper-it's a visual choice}
• chopped mint and chives for garnish

Blend everything in blender until desired consistency.  I like to a bit chunky.  If mixture is too thick you can thin with water or a little orange juice.

Let chill for several hours until cold.  Serve with your favorite whole grain crackers or roll and you're good to go for dinner.  I think this summer will be filled with soups of many colors!

Stay cool...
