Method: 1. Peel, seed and chop cucumber, leaving a small amount for
garnish, if desired. Place remaining cucumber, dill pickle, lemon juice
and onion in food processor. Process until smooth and fine.
2. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, stir in the cream,
stock, and salt and pepper to taste. Add dill and stir until combined.
Refrigerate. Serve with reserved cucumber and an extra sprinkling of dill,
if desired. Note:- The easiest way to seed a cucumber is to cut it in half lengthways
and scoop out the seeds with a teaspoon.
Cucumber Soup is best served a day or two after being made, to allow the
flavor to develop fully. Yogurt (low fat if you prefer) can be substituted
for the cream, if desired.
