I looked up the threads with Jennifer Cornbleet's recipes, and I don't think anyone posted this one. I love it, it makes 2 servings, but I drink the whole soup because it's so good. It says to blend in steps, but I add everything to the vita-mix and blend once until smooth. Next time, I'll try to resist eating it right away to take a picture
Cream of Cucumber Soup (by Jennifer Cornbleet)
4 romaine lettuce leaves, chopped (about 1.5 cups) (I use tightly packed cups)
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and chopped (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup water
1 T lemon juice
1/2 t crushed garlic (1 clove)
1/4 t salt
1/2 ripe avocado, chopped
1 T extra virgin olive oil
1 T minced fresh herbs, or 1 t dried (I use parsley)
Place the lettuce, cucumber, water, lemon juice, garlic, and salt in a blender and process until smooth. Add the avocado and EVOO and blend again until smooth. Add the herbs and blend briefly to mix. Serve immediately. For a chilled soup, refrigerate for 2 hours before servings.
