Questions

Can I make Cold Cucumber Soup dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1/2 cup crème fraîche, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt. Swap the sour cream for thick coconut yogurt with a squeeze of lemon; the yogurt for an unsweetened coconut or soy yogurt. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Cold Cucumber Soup keep?

It is served cold: refrigerate it up to three days and stir before serving. Do not freeze it; the texture coarsens.

Can I halve or double Cold Cucumber Soup?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, blend in batches rather than overfilling the jar.
